About this document
Mendelian Genetics Coin Toss Lab Guide by Joy Panes is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1) This lab uses coin tossing to model Mendelian genetics and probability. Pennies and nickels represent genes and offspring from a Punnett square. 2) Students toss coins 50 times to determine experimental probabilities of offspring genotypes and compare to expected probabilities. 3) The results reinforce concepts of independent assortment, probability, and how Punnett squares can predict offspring frequencies from heterozygous parents. Limitations include small sample size and inherent randomness of co
