To better our understanding of genetics and genes, most of us paired up to make a baby. We looked at each other to determine traits, then flipped a coin to determine genotypes. Kiel and I paired up for this activity and had a very... interesting... baby. I learned a lot in this activity. I learned that even if you think you know what your baby will look like, it doesn't necessarily mean that's how it'll happen, because genotypes are completely random. This is how our baby turned out ---->Another interesting fact is that even if me and Kiel decided to "have another baby," the probability that the new baby would look like this baby is very unlikely. They may look alike but not exactly alike.
I think this activity was a lot of fun, because we got to learn about phenotypes and genotypes in an interesting way.
