Punnett Square showing NO VARIATION of offspring genotypes compared to parents
The two different parents
Not scientific evidence
Claim, Evidence, Reasoning/Elaboration
Sexual Reproduction
Natural Selection
1 letter per starred spot
Differences among individuals in the composition of their genes or other DNA segments
Organisms with the better genes survive and those alleles get passed on the offspring
Opinions, beliefs, what I feel is the answer
A chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross of 2 parents
Type of reproduction that leads to variation of traits
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
Type of reproduction that leads to NO variation of traits
When asked a factual question these are the three things you must include to answer the question in science
Where you state what the scientific evidence (numbers, observations, etc) actually means. Do you understand the numbers you just presented?
