Introduction:
In this lab, you will investigate how organisms inherit traits.
Objectives:
• explain that every organism requires a set of instructions that specifies its traits
• explain the difference between dominant and recessive traits or alleles
• recognize phenotype as the physical expression of the genotype
• recognize genotype as the collective sum of all alleles and their specifying traits
• analyze animals to demonstrate evidence of the hereditary information that is passed from one generation to another
