Day 14 Blog

So, hairless tigers are a thing?
Apparently so, as genes can really screw them over.  By the end of this lab though, we almost wanted the tigers to die so their recessive traits could stop being passed on.  What were we doing?  Pulling beads out of a paper bag randomly to represent the genes of tigers.  Two red, hairless beads meant death.  Two furry, green beads meant guaranteed survival for them and their children.  One red, one green bead meant our frustration with the living tigers.  Well, not really, because by our 8th generation all the red genes except one had disappeared, meaning all tigers will live forever! Okay no, but they should survive. Yay live tigers!
Tata for now!
