Biol102 Lab 6

Instructions

Concepts Explored: Inheritance, Punnett Squares, DNA, genes, alleles, phenotype, genotype, dominant and recessive traits, Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, natural selection, population

Experiment: In this set of procedures you will simulate breeding between bugs and investigate the offspring resulting from specific breeding pairs. You will observe potential composition changes to a small isolated breeding population of bugs over time. Your work will include comparing probabilities calculated from your data and from the Hardy-Weinberg equation. This activity will require about 2 hours.

Please log in to the Table Top Science website, follow the directions for Lab 6 Genetics, and submit the completed activity form in this assignment folder by the due date posted in the syllabus. Remember to take the required snapshots (screenshots) of your results.

The originality of your lab assignment will be checked with Turnitin. Please review the originality report, and if needed, submit a revised assignment before the submission deadline.
