Week 6 "Smiley Genes"



Week 6 "Smiley Genes"


 
This week IMSA students began learning about Gregor Mendel and his research of pea plants.  We learned about genes and thier alleles and how they combine from both parents to determine an organism's genotypes (dominant or recesive genes) and phenotypes (the appearance of the traits on teh organism).   Students had a great time creating thier own "offspring" using a coin flip and some basic genetic traits to determine the appearance of a potential "offspring".  The results were quite interesting!!!! :) We had a great time with this one! Too funny!
