Hypothesis
Variable that is measured in an experiment (the effect)
Based on many thousands of experiments using the scientific method
The allele that gets covered up by the stronger allele. This allele is weaker and may not be seen visually in a trait.
The code that both alleles encode for on each chromosome pair
The physical appearance of a trait. Color, shape, etc.
Variable that is changed in an experiment (the cause)
An organism that has the same allele for a trait on each chromosome pair
The variable that is kept the same in an experiment
The allele that covers up or overpowers the other allele. This is the allele that is seen visually in the trait.
Each person has two gene "variant copies" for every trait. One of these genes variants is found on each chromosome
Data from an experiment
An organism that has two different alleles for a trait on each chromosome pair
Codes for making a protein. Proteins they make the trait.
If/Then (Cause/Effect) statement that answers the question before an experiment
