Experimental Desgin
What I think might happen in an experiment.
Hypothesis
What does GMO stand for?
Genetically Modified Organisms
What does it mean for a plant or animal to be homozygous recessive for a certain trait?
They have both recessive alleles (bb, rr, ee)
Third planet from the sun.
Earth
Parents
Variables I keep the same across trials in my experiment to ensure I can make comparisons.
Controls
The process of taking DNA from one living thing, and transplanting it into another.
Genetic modification
What does it mean for a plant or animal to be homozygous dominant for a certain trait?
They have both dominant alleles (BB, RR, DD)
12^2
144
This is why you look like your siblings.
This is the thing I am measuring in an experiment. (type of variable)
Dependent Variable
What is one argument against the use of GMOs?
Answers may vary
What does it mean for a plant or animal to be heterozygous for a certain trait?
They have one dominant and one recessive allele.
The name of the rat in Disney's ratatouille
Remi
The process of choosing the traits you want in a plant or animal by continually breeding the ideal organisms together. This process takes a long time.
Selective breeding
This is the thing I am changing in my experiment. (type of variable)
Independent Variable
What is one argument for the use of GMOs?
Answers will vary
If you have two Homosygeous dominant parents with brown eyes (BB, BB). What is the chance that their offspring will have brown eyes?
100% BB (brown)
The number of atoms in glucose (C6H12O6)
24 (6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, 6 oxygen)
The name of scooby doo's brother
Scrappy
If I want to know how sunlight affects the growth of my plant, what would my dependent and independent variables be?
D: Plant growth (height in cm)
I: Amount of Sunlight
How is Genetic modification different from selective breeding?
We are not guesses on plant properties, it does not take multiple generations.
IF you have two heterozygous parents that have brown eyes (Bb) what is the possibility their offspring will have blue (bb) eyes?
25% (bb)
