At the beginning of this quarter, we did a "project" with our partners. What we had to do was create a paper pet family by using genetics and creating the mom and dad by flipping a coin to get their genotypes. We also had to flip the coin to find out which gene would be given to each child from the parent. I worked with Maya, and our two parents were Aria and Carlos. Everybody created 6 children with their partner.
I know, you are probably wondering, "How does THAT help you in Science?!" Well, that's the point. It is a fun way to help you understand how children get their genotypes from their parents and makes them THEM. It also helps you see the outcomes that could've happened to you by using Punnett squares, (which I explained last week). Well, hopefully you now get the idea.
