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