Make the Right Call-Marble Lab

Analyze and Conclude:

2. According to the results in Part 1 of the project, all of the potential offspring will become blue due to the dominant alleles the mother has, that eventually overpower the recessive ones. Once you pick from each one you will basically have only one combination, which is Bb. Once you draw the Punnett Squares they will eventually reveal that all 100 % of the offspring will be blue which was my final conclusion. Every single one must be- Bb.

3. The Punnett Squares demonstrate that the division is split in half. Therefore, 50 % of the offspring will be heterozygous and the other 50 % percent will be homozygous. So basically the two possibilities that will surely appear are BB and Bb. I was actually stunned when I saw this, the Punnett Squares were true. When I re checked my final data, 50 % were heterozygous while the other half was homozygous, proving the squares true once again.

4. For the third part, there are three possibilities that can come from the offspring, BB, Bb and bb. However, the Punnett Squares are relied on mathematics but this model was just random and with luck. Therefore, the Punnett Squares state that 50 % Bb and 25 % of BB and bb. To prove this wrong, mine were not exactly as the square stated, yet very different.

5. I believe that even if we extended the whole project to 100 trials, the whole final test will depend on our picks. Every single time a new one is taken out, it is very random and can vary from every single pick. The Punnett Square shows the mathematical definition but we pick with "luck".

6. I believe that the Punnett Square and the model have similarities as well as great differences. The similarities are that they both show the possible allele off spring as well as the possibilities of having these specific off springs. However, there is also a great difference that separates the two. Punnett Squares show you the outcome in a factual and concrete way, also a mathematical way. However, the model and you picking from bags is simply luck and anonymous. You cannot really tell it exactly before you start picking. Over all, they are very similar yet they have this one separating difference.
