You may create an imaginary organism, or draw a real organism. For your organism, please list 10 traits, then describe the different alleles (dominant or recessive) which are possible for that trait. Use coin flips (heads= dominant, tails= recessive) to determine genotypes. List the phenotypes. Draw a portrait of your organism on the back of this sheet. Use a minimum of four different colors in your illustration. Circle or underline the allele your organism displays.
