Dragon Genetics - We will be hatching dragon eggs over the next two weeks. You will be learning about Mendelian genetics. Using a key you will determine your "baby dragon's" genotype and phenotype.
Possible dragon features:  long/short neck, red/white eye, horn-present/absent, fire breathing/not fire breathing, green body/gray body, long tail/short tail, spikes on end of tail/no spikes, red wings/yellow wings, three toes/four toes, yellow belly/white belly, black tail spikes/red tail spikes, freckles/no freckles,
X = X chromosome/no ear frills (XX = female)
Y = Y chromosome/ear frill present (XY = male)
So many possibilities....What kind of dragon will you hatch?
