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