Duayne had a square face and a very prominent round cleft chin. He also had medium brown skin and very dark curly hair with a widow peak. Duayne had very dark bushy eyebrows that weren’t connected and brown almond eyes. He has a medium nose and has Darwin’s ear points as well as forehead and cheek freckles. He’s honestly a tad ugly but you can expect anything very nice coming from Josh and I.

Answer the following questions:
A. How does the coin flip relate to the probability of inheriting genetic conditions?
Because there is a 50% chance your get one of the 2 alleles from your mother and a 50% chance you get another one of the 2 allele from your father.
B. How does this simulation accurately represent or not represent real life?
This inaccurately represents your life because it was chosen traits and wasn’t reflective of how a real life baby would inherit the traits of their parents
C. Did you identify any prejudices you might have about what traits you find “desirable”? Where do you think these prejudices come from
Yes, I think by seeing the choices that we could get for our baby we were very focused on making sure the baby wasn’t ‘ugly’. I think this comes from being able to see the options and knowing typically ‘beautiful’ standards and just wanting the baby to look nice.
