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