Coin Sex Lab Relate and Review

In the lab we did, we used coins to model the process of meiosis and gene segregation, where we marked each side with specific letters, and flipped coins. The coin represented the gene, and the special variables we marked on each side of the coin represented the alleles. When we flipped the coins, the process we modeled as we were doing this was Sex. After each time we flipped the two coins, which represented the parents, we modeled the process of recombination, when we combine the results from the coins to make a new gene from the parent's alleles.
The many variables we tested in the lab were the Monohybrid crossings, which included the sex of the children, Autosomal alleles with disorders that are genetically linked, X-linked inheritance with traits only on the X-Chromosome, and Dihybrid crossing with 2 traits at the same time. The results we got when flipping coins that represent heterozygous or homozygous for each variable were different than the expected results. I had expected the results to be around equal numbers on both sides, but the results showed more on one side, close to the expected results or on the other side. The reason was when we were flipping the coins, the probability of getting the exact results is not 100% guaranteed, but rather unpredictable. The information we got before hand had shown that there was a 50% chance we get result A, and 50% chance to get result B. This proves that when we flip the coin, that there could be more or less of result A or B, and it all depends on probability.
The problem with relying only upon probability to predict offspring traits is that it is completely random. There are nearly limits to how far probability could go, as it could give your offspring traits from your decade old ancestors, or from your parents. At the same time, some traits could come out differently, due to codominance and incomplete dominance. There is such a huge variety of traits that offspring could get, that it is nearly impossible to predict something out of millions of traits to inherit.
In real-life situations, this could information could be used to find out past problems,traits or even diseases, know if you are normal, a carrier of a certain trait, or an affected person. This information is useful in many ways and depending on how it's used, it could even possibly breed new species into the world. I especially could relate to this information, when I always wondered why I had a sort of beard on me, and was always a little strange and lonely. This information does show that I could have gotten that trait from my parents or my ancestors.
