Assume that 'T ' represents the dominant gene (tall) and
't ' represents the recessive gene (dwarf)
Material
Section A
Repeat simulation by marking both tokens with letter T while the other side is labeled 't'.
Discussion:
1. Complete the percentage for simulation A and B.
2. Fill in the blank with the term dominant genes and recessive genes.
(a) Recessive genes: Genes which only show their effects in the absence of dominant
genes .
(b) Dominant genes: Genes which show their characteristics that they control when
paired with a dominant gene or recessive genes
3. The mechanism of trait inheritance in Mandel's experiment can be illustrated by using
the Punnet square. Complete the Punnet Square for Simulation A and Simulation B.
