Independent variable? 14 No genetic Variation in the species 15 Asexual Reproduction 16 23 pairs (46 total) chromosomes 17 Nucleus of Cell 18 How is the size of a protein effected by the amount of base pairs (size of a gene)that code for it? Controlled variable? Number of chromosomes in a regular body cell: liver cell, skin cell, heart cell, etc. Sexual reproduction causes... Same type of organism Factual answer to a scientific question. Asexual reproduction causes... Form that genetic information that is transferred through sexual & asexual reproduction Sex cells: egg cells & sperm cells Explaining what the evidence means Method of transferring genetic information to the offspring from the parent. Child has the same number of chromosomes as the parent. The chromosomes (DNA) of the parent are copied exactly and the child is a replica of the parent. DNA that has been folded up to fit in the nucleus 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 size of the protein Where chromosomes are found A piece of the DNA that codes for making a protein how many base pairs Observations, numbers, data collected from an investigation
