Create A Baby

This post will discuss the characteristics of children and what they inherit from their parents. To complete this project, our class divided into pairs and "made a baby". Basically, we compared physical features, theorized a genotype, and combined the genotypes to determine a phenotype for the child. The data table and "outcome" are displayed below. There was a 50% chance that the child would turn out to be a girl, which it did. It was possible that if either of us had the same recessive gene of a trait that the child would be born with it, even if we did not have it ourselves.
