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