Students modeled the diversity of offspring possible from two parents and discovered patterns of inheritance other than strict dominant/recessive traits.

  2. The critter lab showed us how traits are passed at a random process.Also it was fun to assemble the critter.

  3. The critters looked diffrent. There was more curly tail than straight, two eyes than three eyes and 3 body segments than 2 body segments. This was a fun lab. I like this lab it showed me how traits are passed.

  5. Our Critters did not look the same because they had different traits.

  7. Our Critters were all brothers and sisters so they were bound to have some similar characteristics like dominant traits from Ocean or Lucy.But I knew there would be some critters with recessive traits because of Skye and Poppy's traits. I learned how random gene inheritance could be. Each critter was unique, just like everybody in our class!
