So we keep all other variables the same. The variables we keep the same are called... The variable that we measure in an experiment (the effect) A change in a gene/allele base pair that causes a new allele to be formed that can be passed to the offspring The variable that we make different in an experiment (the cause) Causes of genetic variation The transfer of energy from one object to another object Type of reproduction that leads to variation of traits The process of changing one form of energy to another form of energy. A chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross of 2 parents
