Assignment

Based on what you now know about genetics, make a genetic tree of your family as far back as you can. Bring the map to the lesson where you will use it. Here is a blank tree and key. Once you have filled it in using the key, save it, and share it. This will allow you to email the tree to yourself. Then you can download it and print or save and submit to Moodle.
