4. Students can also record phenotypes and genotypes of their pets on paper. Student pairs can also set up Punnett squares for the crosses without making paper models of pet parents and offspring.
5. Well put together informative two page essay
6. Communicate the results of genetic crosses in a class presentation-five slides min. (5 minutes)
