Students examine dominant and recessive gene through this activity that uses paper bags filled with upper and lower cases letter which represent a cell nucleus and the genes within it. They design a monster drawing based on the genetic traits that are paired in the bag. They complete a Punnett square with the genetic material. Full Review »
