Hypothesis: In this section, predict what type of offspring will result from each set of hamster parents. These statements reflect your predicted outcomes for the experiment.
Test 1:
If I breed a short fur, FF female with a short fur, Ff male, then I will expect to see

offspring.
option 1

(choose one of the following options)

Test 2:
If I breed a short fur, Ff female with a short fur, Ff male, then I will expect to see

offspring.
option 2

(choose one of the following options)

Test 3:
If I breed a long fur, ff female with a long fur, ff male, then I will expect to see

offspring.
option 3

(choose one of the following options)

Procedure:
Test 1: The female FF hamster is placed on Parent 1 square and the male Ff hamster on the Parent 2 square for breeding.
Test 2: The female Ff hamster is placed on Parent 1 square and the male Ff hamster on the Parent 2 square for breeding.
Test 3: The female ff hamster is placed on Parent 1 square and the male ff hamster on the Parent 2 square for breeding.
Identify the test variable (independent variable) for this investigation. The test variable is what is changing in this investigation.

Identify the outcome variable (dependent variable) for this investigation. The outcome variable is what you are measuring in this investigation.
