| Audience | Biology I, High School |

| Abstract | Bunny Babies is an activity that can be used to
reinforce the role of probability in the
inheritance of traits. In this activity
students use coins to represent the gamets of
their bunny baby parents. Students need to be
familiar with meiosis and the terms
heterozygous, homozygous, dominate, recessive,
incomplete dominance, genotype,and phenotype.
After students have determined the genotypes
and phenotypes for each of the traits they
construct the bunny babies as models of
inherited traits.
