(lower case) 13 Scientific explanation for what is occurring. 14 An Austrian monk who studied pea plants that was known as the "Father of Genetics" 15 Explanation of what your evidence from an experiment means. 16 The variable we change in an experiment. 17 A stronger form of a gene that, when present, covers up the appearance of the recessive allele. (capital letter) 18 Shows the actual alleles of the gene.
