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