How I Use It
I use it as merely an introduction of how genes work and when genetic decisions are made there is a particular outcome. I specifically use this in a beginning of the unit to peak interest and encourage students to make decisions about how genetics works before understanding how it works.
My Take
The depth isn't there for extension but is a great way to get students excited about genetics and the possibility of determining outcomes from selective breeding and match making.
