Description
Project Summary: In this project, students will create an animal/creature using certain genotypes that they discover using two coins. Students will then get with a partner to discover what both of their animal’s offspring will look like through Punnett squares! Students will then draw four offspring based off of those Punnett squares.
In order to determine the genotypes of their animal/creatures, they can use two coins, one for each parent. Directions are given on the “identify the genotypes” page for the students.
After students create their animal/creature, they will get with a partner. When with their partners, students will use each of their genotypes for each trait to create Punnett squares for each characteristic of their animal/creature.
Students will then use these Punnett squares to create four offspring with the traits shown in them. A draft is recommended before the final copy.
