How do the number of genes on a dna strand effect the size of the protein that it produces? Dependent variable??
Chromosome
Gene
Asexual Reproduction
Sex cells: egg cells & sperm cells
Asexual reproduction causes...
how many genes
When a new organism is produced from combining the genetic information of two parent organisms. Half of chromosomes are from Mom & half from Dad
Form that genetic information that is transferred through sexual & asexual reproduction
Where chromosomes are found
Method of transferring genetic information to the offspring from the parent. Child has the same number of chromosomes as the parent. Asexual & Sexual Reproduction
Variable we make different in an experiment
Number of chromosomes in a gamete cell: egg cell or sperm cell
The variable that we keep the same in an experiment
DNA that has been folded up to fit in the nucleus
how big the protein is
Sexual reproduction causes...
A piece of the DNA that codes for making a protein
Variable that we measure in an experiment
The chromosomes (DNA) of the parent are copied exactly and the child is a replica of the parent.
the type of organism
Number of chromosomes in a regular body cell: liver cell, skin cell, heart cell, etc.
