Superhero Genetics Project Assessment

The video tutorial guides students through a genetics project where they create a superhero baby by selecting traits from chosen superheroes or villains. Students learn to identify and record traits, understand genetic dominance, and use Punnett squares to determine possible genotypes. The project culminates in a presentation submitted via Google Slides.
