Matching Pairs Reproduction and Genetics - FlashcardsOnline version Reproduction and Genetics - Flashcards by Benjamin D Morgan 1 Genetic Variation in the species 2 23 pairs (46 total) chromosomes 3 23 total (no pairs) chromosomes 4 Claim 5 Elaboration/Reasoning 6 Gene 7 No genetic Variation in the species 8 How is the size of a protein effected by the amount of base pairs (size of a gene)that code for it? Controlled variable? 9 Sexual Reproduction 10 How is the size of a protein effected by the amount of base pairs (size of a gene)that code for it? Dependent variable? 11 Nucleus of Cell 12 Asexual Reproduction 13 How is the size of a protein effected by the amount of base pairs (size of a gene)that code for it? Independent variable? 14 Genes 15 Gamete 16 Asexual & Sexual Reproduction 17 Chromosome 18 Evidence Sexual reproduction causes... size of the protein Method of transferring genetic information to the offspring from the parent. Child has the same number of chromosomes as the parent. Explaining what the evidence means When a new organism is produced from combining the genetic information of two parent organisms. Half of chromosomes are from Mom & half from Dad The chromosomes (DNA) of the parent are copied exactly and the child is a replica of the parent. Same type of organism DNA that has been folded up to fit in the nucleus Observations, numbers, data collected from an investigation Asexual reproduction causes... Form that genetic information that is transferred through sexual & asexual reproduction Number of chromosomes in a gamete cell: egg cell or sperm cell A piece of the DNA that codes for making a protein Sex cells: egg cells & sperm cells Factual answer to a scientific question. Number of chromosomes in a regular body cell: liver cell, skin cell, heart cell, etc. Where chromosomes are found how many base pairs
