Coin sex lab

Coin sex lab

In this lab we used punnett squares to determine the probability of how traits, genes, and alleles will affect or show how a offspring will look like. When the coins were flipped it simulated meiosis or gene segregation and showed recombination between heterozygous and homozygous alleles. In our dihybrid and monohybrid cross simulation the number of individuals that we predicted had the phenotype was one off from what we actually got. We can always use things like punnett squares to predict how our offsprings will look like but it's always a probability, it never gives you the outcome. By knowing things like X-linked and autosomal inheritance, and many more things about genetics, I can understand why i got the genes i got, and how rare or not rare they are.
