Genetics with a Smile

Partner up with another person in your group. Each of you will function as a parent (with one dominant gene and one recessive gene) and pass along one of your genes to your offspring. For each of the traits you will each flip a coin or use a coin flip app. Heads represents dominant and tails represents recessive. Flip a coin for each of the traits and be sure to record your results in the data table below.
