An observation is what you actually see happening.
An inference is the conclusions you draw from that observation.
To use an analogy;
You may be doing a chemistry experiment and when you put two substances together, the mixture bubbles and brown gas comes off. You know that brown gas indicates nitrogen dioxide gas.
The observation would be "Mixture bubbles and brown gas is given off"
The inference would be "A gas is produced, nitrogen dioxide"

Scientists use observations and inferences for many discoveries and conclusions in genetics. What is the difference between an observation and an inference?
An observation is what your senses tell you. An inference is what conclusion you draw as a result of the observation. For example, your observation is that when the blue litmus paper was put in the liquid it turned red. The inference is that the liquid is acidic (since that is when litmus paper turns red). We don't see that it is acidic, so that is not an observation; we just infer it from what we see.
What is the relationship between inference and observation?
