(lower case) 13 The set of traits an organism receives from its parents 14 The variable we measure in an experiment. 15 Explanation of what your evidence from an experiment means. 16 Energy 17 Shows the actual alleles of the gene. 18 A stronger form of a gene that, when present, covers up the appearance of the recessive allele.
