It's mating season!

In class, we explored how dominant and recessive genes interact with each other.

Example of dominant trait: Aa or AA 

Example of recessive trait : aa 

Heterozygous: Aa 

Homozygous: AA and aa 

These combination of genes control what traits you get. The combination of genes that you receive come from your parents. More than one gene controls a trait 

These variations in species are what causes natural selection to happen. Thus, proving evolution at the same time. 

To make sense of the, two men named Hardy and Weinberg came up with a mathematical equation for all of this: P^2+ 2pq+ q^2=1

p+q=1. 

In class, we did a random selection of traits by walking around with gene cards and "mating" with other classmates.
