Genetics, Mendelian Inheritance & DNA Modeling

Integrated Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics)

Your child understands how DNA traits are passed down, can define genotype vs. phenotype, and can draw a Punnett square to predict genetic probability outcomes.

In real life

Curious why they have blue eyes when both parents are brown-eyed, your child draws the Punnett square, works out both parents must carry a recessive allele, and calculates the 1-in-4 odds they beat.
