Super Hero Cross

What would be the best cross of traits from two superheroes

Multiple Alles

There are sometimes when it takes more than one allele to affect the phenotype of an organism. 
Do some research and find some examples of phenotypes that are controlled by multiple alleles.

Mutation

What is a mutation? What are the three ways a mutation can affect an organism. 

The expression of genes

Can an environment determine how a genotype expresses a phenotype?  Please give an example of how this may happen. You may watch the videos to help answer this question. 

Dragons

This week we are going to work on a project for genetics using dragons. What features or traits would a dragon have? Please list as many as you can think of or invent? 

Widows Peak

Hairline shape is an inherited trait in humans. The widow's peak allele is dominant and straight line is recessive. Predict how both parents with widow's peak hairlines could have a child without a window peak hairline.

The Science of Skin Color

Is skin color controlled by multiple alleles? What type of inheritance is this an example of?  

More than two alleles

Are there traits that use more than two alleles. Are there punnet squares larger than two by two? 

What is this

Look at the image below. What is this image all about? 

One or Two

The process of meiosis uses genetic material from two parent cells. How many parent cells are used in the process of mitosis? Please give and example of an organism that reproduces through mitosis.

What is the difference

What is the difference between recessive and dominant alleles ? Can you find and give any examples? 

Puppies and potatoes

Are genes passed down the same way  for puppies and potatoes? What do you think?
