Description
Concepts Explored: Inheritance, Punnett Squares, DNA, genes, alleles, phenotype, genotype, dominant and recessive traits, Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, natural selection, population
Experiment: In this set of procedures you will simulate breeding between bugs and investigate the offspring resulting from specific breeding pairs. You will observe potential composition changes to a small isolated breeding population of bugs over time. Your work will include comparing probabilities calculated from your data and from the Hardy-Weinberg equation. This activity will require about 2 hours.
