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