This week we made our official coclusion on how punnet squares work. We said that the punnet squares were a bunch of mutally exclusive events. This means that it did not depend on past events like when your flipping a coin. When you flip a coin it doesn't matter what the last flip was it is still a 50\50 chance. Even if there were ten tails it doesn't mean that the next flip would be heads. With the punnet square just because one thing already happened doesn't it mean it can't happen again or many times again. After we finished this we started focusing on the kinds of dominance. Incomplete dominance is when one allele is not completely dominant some of the recessive allele shows through, this is a phenotype thing. With co-dominance it is more of a genotype thing where both of the two different alleles are preasent. Now we are working on aproject focusing on genetic diseases. I'm thinking focusing on Arthitis.
