Baby One the Right Chromosome

Baby One the Right Chromosome

Name: gene A: B: D: E: F: G: K: Now you make your monster… Coin flips genotype Record your coins tosses. Then determine the genotype for each gene. • For each gene flip a coin • If you get a head, the trait is homozygous • Otherwise it is heterozygous • Flip it again HOMOZYGOUS • If the first flip was a head, and the 2nd is a head, the trait is homozygous recessive • If the first flip was a head, and the 2nd is a tail, the trait is homozygous dominant HETEROZYGOUS • If the first flip was a tail, and the 2nd is a head, put the capital letter on the right chromosome, lower case on the left (ex: a A) • If the first flip was a tail, and the 2nd is a tail, put the capital letter on the left chromosome, lower case on the right (ex: A a) aa horns up kk short tail KK/Kk long tail Drag the body parts over to make Your monster AA /Aa horns out based on your genotypes from the coin flips gg fangs down GG/Gg fangs up Your genotypes A: B: D: E: F: G: K: ee red eyes EE/Ee yellow eyes FF/Ff no tail spike bb small feet BB/Bb large feet DD/Dd tummy warts o o oo o oo o oo o dd no tummy warts ff tail spike Type in your monster’s genotypes, remembering which goes left and right in the heterozygotes Don’t just move the allele set; you have to copy them. (They don’t get used up.)
