At the end of each round, fil in the arrow in green to show the Chuck-Ken survived to pass on its genes or fil in the 'X' in red to indicated it didn't survive. If your Chuck-Ken didn't survive you wil draw a new Chuck-Ken but without the trait that caused ti not to survive. If your Chuck-Ken survived, you do not need to redraw your Chuck-Ken. Good luck!
