Bingo Chips Lab Report

There were multiple parts to this experiment that were introduced together. In the first part of the experiment, we used a cup and a coin with both a heads and tails side, shook the coin, and looked at the side in which the coin landed on. After conducting these tests 20 times, we recorded which side that the coin landed on each time. In our results, we saw that the coin landed on heads 11 times and it landed on the tails side 9 times. We originally hypothesized that it would be an even mix between landing on heads and tails side, and based off of our results, our hypothesis was correct. There is a 50% chance of the coin landing on either the heads or tails side, and what we saw was very similar to what we believed would happen. If we rolled
We had a yellow and blue chip and placed them in a cup with tape on both sides. On one side of both chips, we had a piece of tape with a lowercase a on it, while on the other side, we had a piece of tape with a capital A on it. Similar to the first part of the experiment, we shook the cup with both chips in it, and looked at the results that we obtained. If both of the letters were AA, the results were homozygous dominant, which means that both of the dominant traits were also together. If the results were Aa, the results would be heterozygous, which means that the two different options would be mixed to form a different result. The last result that occurred was aa, a result that would be classified as homozygous recessive, which means that the two recessive traits were combined. There are certain traits that are dominant over others, which means that they are more “powerful” than the recessive traits. When a trait is recessive, it means that it is more likely to not be seen in the subject, since the dominant trait would dominate it. For example, there are two main colors of peas which are green and yellow. People tend to see more green peas in the stores than yellow, because green is the dominant
We saw that when we combined the chips, it became to form a lighter shade of green. This shows that green is the dominant color of the pair, because instead of changing the color in a way that was not a variation on another, it changed to just a lighter shade of green. This is an example of the Law of Dominance. The Law of Dominance was created by Mendel to state that there will always be one trait in a pair of two that will always dominate the other one, unless both are recessive. This proves the Law of Dominance because it shows that green was the dominant color of the pair.In the next part of the experiment, we took the yellow chip that we used from the last experiment, and we took a blue chip instead of the green. We then placed the chips on top of each other, and we looked at what we observed. Since we placed them under a light and they were also transparent, we only saw the color combination of the two. Naturally in other situations, when you combine yellow and blue, it would make green. When we looked at the color combination of the chips, we also saw a green color too. We saw that there was not a clear dominant color that was shown because the color that we saw was a natural combination of the two. This would be an example of incomplete dominance. Incomplete
