Genetic Variety

Genetic variation is having a different gene then the parent. The baby could have the same genotype as the parent, but it could have one different gene then the parent. It is basically having a different combination of genes or a different genotype then your parents. If the baby does have a different genotype it could stronger or more of the

The reebops in our experiment use genetic variation when two reebops mate to make the one new reebop. The new reebop gets some of the genes fromthere parents but have a different genotype. When we mated with our reebops the mom gave her genotype and the dad did too. If the moms genotype was (Gg) and the dads was (GG) . We made a punnet square for the traits and the new baby would have gotten one from the dad and one from the mom. The new baby could be (GG) for green eyes. (GG) stands homozygous dominant and so was the dad, but the mom was (Gg) heterozygous dominant. But if the dad was (Gg) and the mom was (gg) then the baby could be (gg) wich is homozygous recessive and the baby would have blue eyes.
