Coin sex lab conclusion

      In this lab, we simulated sex by flipping coins which represented Mendel's law of independent assortment which talks about meiosis, which is the basis of our experiment or recombination. We did many experiments or simulations. For example, we did a cross with X-linked chromosomes, which was our mono-hybrid cross, and performed X-linked inheritance. From this cross we got homozygous combinations and heterozygous combination. When we crossed With our dihybrid cross, which is a cross with two different genes or 4 alleles, we expected a 9: 3: 3: 1 phenotypic ratio and when we flipped coins we got a phenotypic ratio of 9: 3: 4: 0 which was really close to the expectation or the average. The limit to using probability to predict our offspring's traits is that you can not pinpoint the exact trait your child will receive. Understanding this concept relates to my life is when I might have kids I will be able to know what traits or genetic deceases my child might get.
