What are some good websites for finding information on dominant and recessive gene traits?

In genetics, the term "recessive gene" refers to an allele that causes a phenotype (visible or detectable characteristic) that is only seen in a homozygous genotype (an organism that has two copies of the same allele). Every person has two copies of every gene, one from mother and one from father. If a genetic trait is recessive, a person needs to inherit two copies of the gene for the trait to be expressed. Thus, both parents have to be carriers of a recessive trait in order for a child to express that trait. If both parents are carriers, there is a 25% chance with each child to show the recessive trait.\n\nThe term "recessive gene" is part of the laws of Mendelian inheritance created by Gregor Mendel. Examples of recessive genes in Mendel's famous pea plant experiments include those that determine the color and shape of seed pods, and plant height.

Here is a website that explains what traits are inherited.\n\n\nFYI- Write not wright (a wright is a ghost/specter)\nEssay not esay

Let's take the Blue eyes - brown eyes example.  Brown is the dominant trait, so we'll use the capital B letter.  Blue is the recessive trait, so we'll use the b letter.  A person with blue eyes has the genotype bb (got a b from dad and a b from mom).  A person with brown eyes can be homozygous BB (got B from dad and B from mom) or heterozygous Bb (got B from one parent and b from the other parent).\nA first generation usually starts with pure breeds, so both homozygous.  We'll have BB and bb as the starting parents.  Those parents produce gametes in their gonads.  Let's say that mom has blue eyes and dad has brown eyes.  All her eggs will have the b gene as all dad's spermatozoids will have the B gene.  If you want to make the Punnett square, you'll find that all babies will have 100% probability to be Bb\n____|__B__|__B__\n__b_|_Bb__|_Bb__\n__b_|_Bb__|_Bb__\nThe second generation is made by taking two of those offspring and crossing them.  First, you have to find out what alleles will be in the gametes.  Half of the eggs will be b and half will be B.  Also, half of the spermatozoids will be B and half will be b.  In the Punnett square you'll have.\n____|__B__|__b__\n__B_|_BB_|_Bb_\n__b_|_Bb__|_bb__\nHere, the babies will have 25% chance to have blue eyes (bb) and 75% chance to have brown eyes (25% homozygotous BB and 50% heterozygotous Bb).

Mendelian genetics predicts the probable result of genetic traits.  It assigns a dominate and recessive gene to each trait of a species that allows for variance, then calculates the possible match-ups of recessive and dominate genes.  The ratio of success of the dominate gene relates to its ability to produces a higher probability of result.  Mendelian genetics is never certain in its results, it shows the most probable result of a pairing.

Genetics of the fruit fly drosophila (Mendeline genetics)\n\nAn essay on Darwin and his discovery of Natural selection would be good and interesting reading.\n\nHow do finger prints work? Including the history of, and perhaps a discussion on the fact that identical twins do not have identical finger prints.\n\nOver farming/fishing, how humans are quickly using up the environment and resources of the planet.\n\nThe extinction of the Dinosausrs.\n\nThe phenomenon of the Peppered Moth and Industrial melanism.\n\nDepends what area you are interested in, you can pick something you find fun and do some research on it, don't think of it as hard, think of it as an opportunity to do something you enjoy and show your markers how much you enjoy it by researching it.

Go to OMIM at the NCBI http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/, it is a database of inherited diseases, ie diseases that are affected by genetics (just about everything).  It's an excellent reference.  You can pick pretty much any disease, the topic doesn't matter.  What matters is how well you known the subject and how deep you explore it.  Ie genetics, hx, treatement, dx, etc.

Perhaps you want a website that will take the pictures of both parents and somehow morph them?  The resulting photo will be more silly than a useful indication of what your offspring might look like.  Find a genetic planner and discuss the traits that you both possess, and you might figure out which traits are more likely to be dominant.  You can come up with educated guesses for hair and eye color, etc., but nothing more definitive than that.
