coin lab relate and review

In this lab we flipped coins to determine the probability of our offspring having different traits. The coin served as a model for genetics concepts by randomly landing on a allele, and then put together with the result that landed on the other coin form the gene that show your trait, it also shows a example of meiosis or gene segregation. It also shows if those traits are homozygous or heterozygous. Our results seem to be more random than the results in the dihybrid cross simulation witch shows the gene with two letters, but the monohybrid shows the gene with four letters. They did show the same results yours was more very in the amount of each result. The limit of using probability to predict our offspring's traits is how those traits will look all together, even if you try recombination and with different traits we will not know what the offspring will look like with all of these traits. I can relate this to sex which is when the offspring inherits the autosomal and X linked genes from the parents.
