This allele is weaker and may not be seen visually in a trait. If/Then (Cause/Effect) statement that answers the question before an experiment Variable that is changed in an experiment (the cause) Codes for making a protein. Proteins they make the trait. Variable that is measured in an experiment (the effect) The variable that is kept the same in an experiment The allele that covers up or overpowers the other allele. This is the allele that is seen visually in the trait. Each person has two gene "variant copies" for every trait. One of these genes variants is found on each chromosome The code that both alleles encode for on each chromosome pair An organism that has the same allele for a trait on each chromosome pair An organism that has two different alleles for a trait on each chromosome pair The physical appearance of a trait. Color, shape, etc. Data from an experiment
