10min Coin Flip. Students determine which version of their genes (alleles) they will pass on through the power of science and a coin flip. Students will record the results and add table partners results to determine offspring’s genotype. Students will repeat one more time.
20min Offspring Genotype & Phenotype MiniPoster. Students will determine what their offspring features will be based on their genotype. Student’s will illustrate the results and provide a name for their offspring. (Genotype information should be posted on bottom right corner of poster.)
