Question

Explain how this simulation does and does not represent real life Make a baby lab

Answer 1

Answer:

The simulation represents real life make a baby by showing the probabilities that the child has of inheriting a trait and how the expression of them works. That is to say, the dominant and recessive traits. It does not represent reality in the sense that gene inheritance and expression are not determined by the flip of a coin or the absence of crossing over, which gives gen diversity.

Explanation:

The make a baby lab explains in a simple way how inheritance and dominance of one gen over another works. It shows that there are probabilities to inherit a trait by using coin flipping as an example. Even though the process is more complex, the idea of how dominant genes, recessive genes, and inheritance from both parents work is explained simply with this activity.
