Matching Pairs Genetics - FlashcardsOnline version Genetics - Flashcards Activity by Benjamin D Morgan 1 The set of traits an organism receives from its parents 2 The variable we measure in an experiment. 3 Energy 4 Scientific explanation for what is occurring. 5 The form of a trait that is displayed in an organism (what you see). 6 The variable we change in an experiment. 7 The variable we keep the same in an experiment 8 Comes from observations or data collected during an experiment 9 Different forms of the same trait (gene) 10 Explanation of what your evidence from an experiment means. 11 A weaker form of a gene that is hidden when combined with a dominant allele. (lower case) 12 A plant that produces offspring with the same form of a trait when self pollinated 13 A stronger form of a gene that, when present, covers up the appearance of the recessive allele. (capital letter) 14 Pollen grains containing sperm from the male part of the plant (anther) are carried to the female part of the plant called the ovule (self and cross pollination). 15 An Austrian monk who studied pea plants that was known as the "Father of Genetics" 16 Shows the actual alleles of the gene. 17 A characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring. 18 A segment or unit of DNA that determines traits (heredity) Evidence Gene Trait Dependent Variable Dominant Allele Phenotype Genotype Independent Variable Heredity Recessive Allele Reasoning/Elaboration Claim Gregor Mendel True Breeding Pollination What is allowed to enter/leave both an open system and closed system Controlled Variable Allele
