Below is a scenario about an experiment; there are three questions referring back to this scenario, so read it carefully. Sherri wanted to test what fertilizer worked best on her tomato plants. She bought 4 different brands of fertilizer, and five tomato plants. She labeled each plant A-E. She did not give plant E any fertilizer. Each plant was kept in the same location, with the same amount of sunlight, and given the same amount of water each day. Each day at noon she measured her plants. 1. What is the independent variable in this scenario? - The type of plant - The growth of the plants - The amount of water given - The fertilizer given 2. What is the dependent variable? - The type of fertilizer - The amount of water given to each plan - The type of plant - Daily plant growth 3. Select all of the controlled variables present. - The type of plant - The type of fertilizer - How much sunlight the plants receive - How much water they receive daily

Chapter 11.1 & 11.2 notes section 11.1 1. every living thing has a set of ? inherited from its parents. 2. after becoming a ? , mendel spent several years studying ? and mathematics at the university of vienna. 3. during sexual reproduction, male and female reproductive cells join, a process known as ? . 4. pea flowers are normally ? , which means that sperm cells in pollen fertilize the egg cells in the ? flowers. 5. when mendel crossed plants with ? characters for the same trait, the resulting offspring had only one of the characters. 6. a ? is a specific characteristic, such as seed color or plant height, that varies from one individual to another. 7. filius and filia are the latin words for ? and ? . 8. the offspring of crosses between parents with different traits are called ? . 9.to mendel's surprise, all of the offspring had the character of only ? of the parents. 10. mendel's first conclusion was that biological inheritance is determined by ? that are ? from one generation to the next. 11. scientist calls the chemical factors that determine traits ? . 12. mendel's second conclusion is the ? . 13. the principle of dominance states that some alleles are ? and others are ? . 14. when mendel allowed the f1 plants to reproduce by self-pollination the traits controlled by ? alleles reappeared in about ? of the f2 plants in each cross.
