Sexual Reproduction
Variable that we measure in an experiment
how many genes
Variable we make different in an experiment
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.
Where chromosomes are found
Number of chromosomes in a regular body cell: liver cell, skin cell, heart cell, etc.
A piece of the DNA that codes for making a protein
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
how big the protein is
Form that genetic information that is transferred through sexual & asexual reproduction
Sexual 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
the type of organism
Asexual reproduction causes...
DNA that has been folded up to fit in the nucleus
