This lab was set up to enforce how inheritance is pasted down from generations. The first web lab was to show how the chromosomes of parents effect the off spring. The lab use dragons which was kind of cool. We started of choosing 9 dragons male and female. Then a dragon was created that we had to duplicate. By going back and forth, looking at the chromosome linage I could see the differences. I was then to adjust the baby dragon’s chromosomes to make it the dame as the adult. It was fun.
The second web lab was based on the Punnett Square. In this lab we were using fruit flies. Using the Punnett Square we adjusted the genotype and phenotypes of the flies to figure out what off spring we would get. If you choose the wrong parents then the off spring would match. Scenario 5 was fun so I went and did all of the other ones. I lost my first page and had to do five over again, but it was easier after I did the other ones. In the end I got good at it and learned something about inheritance.
Genotype- The alleles the make an individual.
Phenotype- The alleles that determine the physical characteristics
Allele- Genes have the same position on the chromosomes and affect the same traits.
Cross- Having to do with the inheritance of the alleles one or two crosses can happen. This will determine what traits the off spring inherit.
Dominant- These traits are shared by both parents and alleles of the kind get past on more often. These are represented by upper case letters.
Recessive- These traits are given the same letters represented in lower case. These alleles don’t get passed on as much but still can be inherited.
