Week 7 "All in the Critter Family"

 
Week 7 "All in the Critter Family"
 
This week IMSA students again explored the world of genetic traits.  This time we were simulating what might happen with some specific genotypes of "critters" using Punnett Squares.  We compared the results of our Punnet Squares to theoretical probability using a spinner to select which traits offspring would receive.   It turns out that our theoretical probabilities are very close in number to our data we created on our Punnett Squares to determine offspring traits. Students had fun creating their "Critter Offspring"
using colored stickers to represent the possible phenotypes.
