So we keep all other variables the same. The variables we keep the same are called... The variable that we make different in an experiment (the cause) The variable that we measure in an experiment (the effect) A chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross of 2 parents The transfer of energy from one object to another object The process of changing one form of energy to another form of energy. Causes of genetic variation A change in a gene/allele base pair that causes a new allele to be formed that can be passed to the offspring Organisms with the better genes survive and those alleles get passed on the offspring Type of reproduction that leads to variation of traits Type of reproduction that leads to NO variation of traits
