So while in the process of learning about genetics and what not, Bri and I made a baby! We decided to name him Damien Ryan Gonzales (Gonzalez 'cause Bri was the male in this project ha!) Bri and I had a really good time doing this. It was really simple to do, but anticipating the results was the more curious side of this lab. We flipped a coin to see what parts of Bri and I would be genetically given to our kid- it was tails for me and heads for her. Since I played the female in this lab and Bri played the male my symbols were XX while Bri's was XY.
First we flipped our coin to see what gender our baby was going to be, and it came out to be Xy, which was a boy. As we continued with the list, flipping the coins back and forth, we came up with how he was going to look taking parts from both parents. A lot of Bri's and my features were the same so it was pretty easy to figure out how things would turn out. I think his features came out looking pretty good! :) Our drawings came out the same, which was good 'cause it just showed that we pictured the same kind of kid in mind. I had fun doing this project, it taught me a lot about DNA structures and how you never know how your kid is going to turn out! Just pray it isn't a ugly kid! :)
