contents Given an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ of conductor $N$, there exists a surjective morphism $ϕ_E: X_0(N) \to E$ defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. In this article, we discuss the growth of $\mathrm{deg}(ϕ_E)$ and shed some light on Watkins's conjecture, which predicts $2^{\mathrm{rank}(E(\mathbb{Q}))} \mid \mathrm{deg}(ϕ_E)$. Moreover, for any elliptic curve over $\mathbb{F}_q(T)$, we have an analogous modular parametrization relating to the Drinfeld modular curves. In this case, we also discuss growth and the divisibility properties.
