Genetic Smile Monsters!

Hi All!

Click Here to see ALL of the black team genetic monsters!



These were created by our students by coin flipping to determine the genetic traits of each monster.

For example, if they flipped Heads/Heads for face shape they would have gotten "C" "C". This is HOMOZYGOUS DOMINANT. (Ask your local black team student to explain this.) These two dominant alleles result in a round faced monster.

If they flipped Tails/Tails they would have gotten "c" "c", or HOMOZYGOUS RECESSIVE. These two recessive alleles would result in a oval faced monster.

What would happen if you flipped heads and then tails? What shape would the monster face be?

Hey Melissa,
