1. What are the possible genotypes of the parents of an offspring who has wavy (Hh) hair?
2. Would you predict that another pair of students in your class would have an offspring genetically identical to yours?  Support your answer
3. Do you think anyone in your class has all the same genetic traits that you have?  Explain your answer
4. How is this coin-toss model similar to the way in which traits are inherited in living things?  How is the model different?
