Students used a coin-tossing simulation to model the pattern of inheritance exhibited by many single-gene traits, including the critter tail-color charcteristic.
Students posted their reults on the SALI page of the SEPUP website and compared their results with students from other classes around the country.

This lab really showed how gene combinations are chosen, its just a random process. Different genes have a 50-50 chance of being inherited (by the organism). Although our class didnt have a perfect 3:1 ratio for the third generation of critters, 801 did. But we were only a LiTtLe bit of.
