Description
Students will create their own sexually reproducing organism. They will choose four traits that the organisms will pass on to their offspring. Based on these traits, they will determine what the genotypes and the phenotypes of the offspring will be. They will create three different offspring. Students will compare and contrast the parents to the offspring and the offspring to one another. This will lead them to the conclusion that sexual reproduction creates variation.
