Investigating Dominant and Recessive Traits

Using "chips" with RR (for red flowers) Rr (for red flowers with a white recessive) and rr (for white flowers), we made a model of inheritance of flower color in plants.
If we used RR and Rr and threw the chips 25 times, all the offspring would be red. ...Dylan W.

There is no chance to have a white flower if the parents are RR and Rr. They would all be red. ...Angelica

The dominant color is always the color of the thing. ...Kyle
I think that it is very confusing how people in the past begain to use selective breeding to get the plants and animals they wanted. ...Tyler

Two Dominant traits would be like pure bred. One dominant and one recessive would be like mixing or a hybrid. ...Brandon

 There were 24 offspring from RR and Rr and there were no white offspring. ...Katie

A dominant gene is like a hamster has a recessive smooth fur, but he is ruff because he has a dominant ruff gene. ...Randy

The dominant shows up a lot more. ...Alex
We did the same thing with eye color. It is like the color of flowers. ...Brandon G.

If you have a flower that's red red and a flower that is red white, then you would get a red flower. ...Lindsay

 
If we used Rr and rr the results would be four recessive and one dominant one out of four. ...Jaylee

I can infer about inheritance that you could get furry animals. You could breed a fluffy pony with a fluffy male and you could get a fluffy baby pony. ...Jaylee
I think it is interesting how people give their kids their looks. ...Shamika

I think it is interesting how people found out how inheritance works. ...Jami
