Our AGED I students are jumping into animal genetics!
This week, they explored chromosomes, alleles, and how genetic variation makes every living thing unique.
To bring these concepts to life, students built their own “Reebops” using marshmallows, pipe cleaners, thumbtacks, toothpicks, and sewing pins. Each student drew a set of alleles, and each combination created a different genotype, which resulted in a fun variety of phenotypes!
It was a hands-on, engaging way to understand how genetics contributes to the differences we see in animals and ourselves!
