scientific Baby Making

After "making babies" with my partner Zach Gonzales :) lol. . we noticed how the genetic thing worked with this work sheet. We had a coin toss experiment that put these facts to work and showed the idea of how genes are passed down or transfered from the parent to the child. Filling out this packet tossing for certain traits that our "baby" would encounter it was a fun time. After we had all the characteristics we spreaded about and drew what we thought our "child" would look like, seeing the pictures it was funny to see how different they were. The first trait we had to determine was the gender and in class we learned that woman have XX chromosome and men have XY, no matter what we found out that the woman always passes and X so then it was up to Zach to pass his "chromosome" and see what we got (toss the coin). Boom! We had a baby boy in our hands with the chromosome XY. We also learned that genotype is the way genes are laid out and phenotype is how you look. The genes don't always show in phenotype it mainly just shows the dominant gene. As the worksheet went on, we tossed the coin to determine what traits our little boy would have such as, a mole, eyebrows, dimples, or even the shape of lips.  We also learned that if their isn't a huge amount of people that possess a certain trade that it can still be dominate. We spent like 2 0r 3 days on this experiment and i have to say it was a fun time!
