In all seriousness, I will be controlling the genes for my rebops by randomly choosing the alleles on the chromosomes produced by Momma Rebop and Dad Rebop.
Say you have your Mom Rebop chromosomes, which carry genetic information, and your Dad chromosomes:
When those Rebops breed, they match up their chromosomes individually:
Each of these pairs represents a different trait or gene, so one pair could represent EE or Gg or Tt for any trait.
The traits that I will study in my little rebops are the number of body segments, the color of nose, how many antannae, the shape of the tail (curly or straight), color of legs, the number of eyes, and the number and color of humps. All of these traits are either dominant, recessive, incomplete or codominant.
The results for my Chromosome pairs are Dd, Tt, Qq, ll, aa, EE, Mm, which determine the traits listed here:
So the phenotypes of my first Rebop will be:
-Three body segments
-No antennae
-Orange nose
-Two eyes
-Two green humps
-Curly tail
- Red legs
HERE HE IS:
Hes so cute.
This experiment is an excellent way of showing how chromosomes carry alleles and code for the phenotypes of many different traits.
Speaking of multiple traits, there's a punnet square for that too.
Youll just have to come back later.
