Asexual Reproduction
Natural Selection
Mutations AND Mixing of alleles during Sexual Reproduction
Energy Transfer
The possible offspring
Punnett Square showing NO VARIATION of offspring genotypes compared to parents
Organisms with the better genes survive and those alleles get passed on the offspring
A change in a gene/allele base pair that causes a new allele to be formed that can be passed to the offspring
A chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross of 2 parents
We want only the independent variable to cause our results. So we keep all other variables the same. The variables we keep the same are called...
Type of reproduction that leads to variation of traits
Causes of genetic variation
Type of reproduction that leads to NO variation of traits
The variable that we make different in an experiment (the cause)
The process of changing one form of energy to another form of energy.
The transfer of energy from one object to another object
The variable that we measure in an experiment (the effect)
