One of these genes variants is found on each chromosome An organism that has the same allele for a trait on each chromosome pair Based on many thousands of experiments using the scientific method An organism that has two different alleles for a trait on each chromosome pair Variable that is measured in an experiment (the effect) The allele that covers up or overpowers the other allele. This is the allele that is seen visually in the trait. Variable that is changed in an experiment (the cause) Codes for making a protein. Proteins they make the trait. The allele that gets covered up by the stronger allele. This allele is weaker and may not be seen visually in a trait. The physical appearance of a trait. Color, shape, etc.
