Students will utilize terms such as genotype, phenotype, allele, trait, chromosome, complete dominance, incomplete dominance, co-dominance, and more, as they perform genetic and pedigree analyses on an alien species called 'The Gizmos'. This assignment also incorporates a review of chromosome mutations, as well as ample scientific writing practice. This thorough, all-encompassing review of the patterns of inheritance can be used as both individual and partner work.
