Create-A-Face+Project+Reflection

1/2. The project models how genes are passed from parent to offspring when we used the pennies to figure out what trait it was going to get. We decided that tails was going to be the recessive trait and heads was going to be dominant trait and when we flipped the coins whatever we got either dominant and recessive trait, recessive and recessive trait or dominant and recessive trait, was going to be the gene. It models that which ever parent or both have one or more dominant trait was likely to pass that down to the offspring instead of passing the recessive trait. But if none of the parents have a dominant trait then they would likely pass down the recessive trait they have to the offspring. For example, if the characteristic was the head shape and round is dominant and square is recessive; i flipped two coins and both coin had heads then the trait would be dominant and dominant ,which means the offspring would get a round face.

3. My work habits helped me understand the concepts by talking with my peers. This helped me get a better understanding of the concepts because not only do i just have my little piece of knowledge, but I have everyone's piece of knowledge too. For example, the question was, discuss why did the baby bear get gray eyes?, i can share my knowledge, which everyone can listen to and maybe improve my answer and also i get to listen to their opinion which enforces my knowledge about the topic.
