How do the number of genes on a dna strand effect the size of the protein that it produces? Dependent variable??
Nucleus of Cell
Gamete
23 pairs (46 total) chromosomes
Sexual Reproduction
23 total (no pairs) chromosomes
How do the number of genes on a dna strand effect the size of the protein that it produces? Controlled variable??
Genetic Variation in the species
Controlled Variable
Asexual & Sexual Reproduction
No genetic Variation in the species
How do the number of genes on a dna strand effect the size of the protein that it produces? Independent variable??
Asexual Reproduction
Dependent Variable
Genes
Gene
Asexual reproduction causes...
Method of transferring genetic information to the offspring from the parent. Child has the same number of chromosomes as the parent. Asexual & Sexual Reproduction
Sexual reproduction causes...
how many genes
the type of organism
A piece of the DNA that codes for making a protein
Where chromosomes are found
Number of chromosomes in a gamete cell: egg cell or sperm cell
how big the protein is
Number of chromosomes in a regular body cell: liver cell, skin cell, heart cell, etc.
DNA that has been folded up to fit in the nucleus
Variable that we measure in an experiment
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
The variable that we keep the same in an experiment
The chromosomes (DNA) of the parent are copied exactly and the child is a replica of the parent.
Form that genetic information that is transferred through sexual & asexual reproduction
Variable we make different in an experiment
