Build a Baby
Description
This activity will use some basic principles of Inheritance to build (and draw) a "baby" from a collection of traits provided.
Procedure
1. Acquire this instruction sheet, either online or on paper.
2. Follow the directions of the instruction sheet. Pay particular attention to generating random values by using a coin flip. i.e. "heads" could mean the dominant trait on the first flip, and a "tails" on the second flip could indicate a heterozygote (Bb). Use this Key to determine the traits associated with dominant and recessive expressions of the genes.
3. Once the drawings are completed, either hand in them in directly or upload pictures to Edmodo.
