Description
In this fun review activity, students create their own Valentine create using traits "inherited" from their parents. A list of 5 traits is inherited based on probability and the roll of a dice. The students then figure out which of the phenotypes their Valentine has and design their Valentine to match these phenotypes.
For this activity, students should have a basic understanding of Mendelian genetics. Examples of incomplete dominance and codominance are also included to allow for more in depth class discussions.
