Causes of genetic variation Type of reproduction that leads to NO variation of traits 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 measure in an experiment (the effect) A chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross of 2 parents The variable that we make different in an experiment (the cause) 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 Organisms with the better genes survive and those alleles get passed on the offspring
