Sexual Reproduction

Nucleus of Cell

Gene

Gamete

Claim

23 total (no pairs) chromosomes

How is the size of a protein effected by the amount of base pairs (size of a gene)that code for it? Controlled variable?

Genetic Variation in the species

How is the size of a protein effected by the amount of base pairs (size of a gene)that code for it? Independent variable?

No genetic Variation in the species

Genes

Elaboration/Reasoning

How is the size of a protein effected by the amount of base pairs (size of a gene)that code for it? Dependent variable?

Asexual Reproduction

23 pairs (46 total) chromosomes

Evidence

Chromosome

Number of chromosomes in a regular body cell: liver cell, skin cell, heart cell, etc.

The chromosomes (DNA) of the parent are copied exactly and the child is a replica of the parent.

Observations, numbers, data collected from an investigation

A piece of the DNA that codes for making a protein

DNA that has been folded up to fit in the nucleus

When a new organism is produced from combining the genetic information of two parent organisms. Half of chromosomes are from Mom & half from Dad

Number of chromosomes in a gamete cell: egg cell or sperm cell

Sexual reproduction causes...

Same type of organism

Factual answer to a scientific question.

size of the protein

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.

Where chromosomes are found

how many base pairs

Form that genetic information that is transferred through sexual & asexual reproduction

Asexual reproduction causes...

Sex cells: egg cells & sperm cells
