(capital letter) 2 An Austrian monk who studied pea plants that was known as the "Father of Genetics" 3 The variable we change in an experiment. 4 The set of traits an organism receives from its parents 5 Explanation of what your evidence from an experiment means. 6 The variable we measure in an experiment. 7 Pollen grains containing sperm from the male part of the plant (anther) are carried to the female part of the plant called the ovule (self and cross pollination). 8 The variable we keep the same in an experiment 9 A characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring. 10 A segment or unit of DNA that determines traits (heredity) 11 Scientific explanation for what is occurring. 12 A weaker form of a gene that is hidden when combined with a dominant allele. (lower case) 13 The form of a trait that is displayed in an organism (what you see). 14 A plant that produces offspring with the same form of a trait when self pollinated 15 Different forms of the same trait (gene) 16 Shows the actual alleles of the gene. 17 Comes from observations or data collected during an experiment 18 Energy Pollination Recessive Allele Claim Trait Gene Genotype Evidence Heredity Gregor Mendel Reasoning/Elaboration What is allowed to enter/leave both an open system and closed system True Breeding Allele Dependent Variable Dominant Allele Independent Variable Phenotype Controlled Variable
