Genes and Inherited Traits

Dive into the fascinating world of genetics in this engaging exercise, where students will explore how traits are passed down through generations, using hands-on activities to model inheritance patterns and discover the roles of dominant and recessive genes in shaping the characteristics of living organisms.
