Punnett Square definition
Asexual Reproduction
Punnett Square showing VARIATION of offspring genotypes compared to parents
1 letter per starred spot
Independent Variable
The two different parents
Sexual Reproduction
Controlled Variable
Punnett Square showing NO VARIATION of offspring genotypes compared to parents
Natural Selection
The possible offspring
Energy Transfer
A chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross of 2 parents
The transfer of energy from one object to another object
The process of changing one form of energy to another form of energy.
Type of reproduction that leads to NO variation of traits
Causes of genetic variation
The variable that we measure in an experiment (the effect)
We want only the independent variable to cause our results. So we keep all other variables the same. The variables we keep the same are called...
A change in a gene/allele base pair that causes a new allele to be formed that can be passed to the offspring
Organisms with the better genes survive and those alleles get passed on the offspring
Type of reproduction that leads to variation of traits
The variable that we make different in an experiment (the cause)
