1. Include a drawing of your child with as much detail as possible.

2. Include a short description of the traits your child has.

Our baby has a round face and light brown skin. He also has big blue eyes and medium brown, fine eye brows. Big lips and an inprominant chin. His hair is medium brown and he has attached ear lobes

3. Answer the following questions:
a. How does the coin flip relate to the probability of inheriting genetic conditions?

When each of us flip the coin we either receive heads or tails. Heads being dominant and tails being recessive. Each trait had accompanying letters and each of us flipping the coin  would create a genotype. With the genotype we determine the trait based on which is dominant and which is recessive.

b. How does this simulation accurately represent or not represent real life?

I think the idea of creating a genotype is accurate but in real life it is not as simple as flipping a coin and real genetics are involved. Genetics  are not only based off direct parents but generations behind them also.

c. Did you identify any prejudices you might have about what traits you find “desirable”? Where do you think these prejudices come from?

I think that everybody has certain traits they find more desirable than others and society has definitely affected them and create prejudices on what different traits could signify about people’s personality. And that is why we find certain traits undesirable, we know they have nothing to do with personality but society creates a link between physical appearance and personality. With our baby, it had blue eyes which I find desirable compared to brown because it is more unique.
