Scientific knowledge

The allele that covers up or overpowers the other allele. This is the allele that is seen visually in the trait.

The code that both alleles encode for on each chromosome pair

The variable that is kept the same in an experiment

The physical appearance of a trait. Color, shape, etc.

Data from an experiment

If/Then (Cause/Effect) statement that answers the question before an experiment

The allele that gets covered up by the stronger allele. This allele is weaker and may not be seen visually in a trait.

Variable that is changed in an experiment (the cause)

Variable that is measured in an experiment (the effect)

Codes for making a protein. Proteins they make the trait.

An organism that has two different alleles for a trait on each chromosome pair

Each person has two gene "variant copies" for every trait. One of these genes variants is found on each chromosome

Based on many thousands of experiments using the scientific method

An organism that has the same allele for a trait on each chromosome pair
