Investigating Inherited Traits

Pre-Lab
1. The single double sided quarter represents the dominant and recessive alleles.
2. The probability in perfect would be 50-50 because it has 2 sides and only can land on one.
3. A coin toss is a good way to represent allele combinations because it is somewhat of a % on how and which combo is going to be.
5. No, because the genotype is the genetic characteristics while phenotype is the physical characteristics. They are 2 totally different characteristics.

Analysis and Conclusions
1. The possible genotypes would be from the male and female parents. Also it would be a hubrid.
2. I do supports that another group got the same genetically identical 'child' to us because it is a 33% chance that it is possible.
3. Nobody because in my class has the same parents as me which means my genotype is a one of a kind.
4. It is similar because there are always chances to get certain genotype from our parents. The model is different because some of these traits may never show up like in the diagram.

Here is a photo of our 'child':
