How to make your own possible parent bioglyph:

i. Pick one trait (eye color).

ii. Pick one parent bioglyph to start with first (mom/dad).

iii. Think about the parent and which phenotype he/she possess.

iv. If the trait is dominant, flip a coin to determine if the genotype is heterozygous (heads) or homozygous (tails).

v. Repeat iii and iv for the other parent.

vi. Draw the characteristics on the possible parent bioglyphs handout.

vii. Then, build a punnett square of the assigned genotypes from the coin flip.

viii. Think about your siblings; are these possible genotypes for your parents? Put a check underneath the possible punnett squares.

Complete this process for at least 5 traits in your parent bioglyphs.
