Summary:
A hybrid is a mix of a recessive and dominant trait but only the dominant trait will show. A purebred is just two recessive traits or two dominant traits. Choices that your mom makes or you make could affect your body like malformed organs or other types of things. Traits of you can be guessed before you are born through the Punnett Square to see if you are a hybrid or a purebred. Like if your mom is a hybrid for her hair and your dad is a hybrid for his hair then it would be a 3 to 1 ratio for hair the same as your parents.

SP6: Did you explain something through your work?
This week we used coin flips to figure out the traits of our superheroes. For 100% chance for a trait we put it for 50% we did 3 coin flips to decide. This is like how it works in real life, if there is a 100% chance for a trait it is that trait and 50% there is a chance they get one trait or the other. This is SP6 because this shows how it works with 100% and 50%.

XCC:
Cause and Effect
Traits are inherited from their parents they each give part of their genes for the baby so the baby will look like part of each of their parents not just looking like one. The cause is the father and mother's genes and the effect is their child that usually looks like part of both of them. The different genes from the mother and father are the cause of the baby looking like parts both of them, which is the effect of the mother and father's genes.
