(lower case) 11 Explanation of what your evidence from an experiment means. 12 Comes from observations or data collected during an experiment 13 An Austrian monk who studied pea plants that was known as the "Father of Genetics" 14 A stronger form of a gene that, when present, covers up the appearance of the recessive allele. (capital letter) 15 The form of a trait that is displayed in an organism (what you see). 16 Shows the actual alleles of the gene. 17 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). 18 The variable we change in an experiment.
