What I think might happen in an experiment. 

Hypothesis 

100

What does GMO stand for? 

Genetically Modified Organisms

100

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) 

100

Third planet from the sun. 

Earth

Traits are passed down from __________ to offspring.

Parents

200

Variables I keep the same across trials in my experiment to ensure I can make comparisons.

Controls 

200

The process of taking DNA from one living thing, and transplanting it into another. 

Genetic modification

200

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) 

200

12^2

144

200

This is why you look like your siblings. 

You are getting genetic material from your parents. 
300

This is the thing I am measuring in an experiment. (type of variable) 

Dependent Variable

300

What is one argument against the use of GMOs?

Answers may vary 

300

What does it mean for a plant or animal to be heterozygous for a certain trait?  

They have one dominant and one recessive allele.  

300

The name of the rat in Disney's ratatouille

Remi 

300

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

400

This is the thing I am changing in my experiment. (type of variable) 

Independent Variable

400

What is one argument for the use of GMOs?

Answers will vary

400

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) 

400

The number of atoms in glucose (C6H12O6) 

24 (6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, 6 oxygen) 

400

The name of scooby doo's brother

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 

500

How is Genetic modification different from selective breeding? 

We are not guesses on plant properties, it does not take multiple generations.

500

IF you have two heterozygous parents that have brown eyes (Bb) what is the possibility their offspring will have blue (bb) eyes? 

25% (bb)
