We did a lab in class that involved evolution and gene frequencies.
We were given a 25 red beads and 25 green beads. The red beads represented the recessive allele for no fur on a Bengal Tiger. The green beads represented the dominant allele. We had to put all of the beads in a bag, shake them up, and pick out two beads at a time. If the bead colors we chose were green & green or green & red, then the tiger had the dominant allele. If the beads were red & red, then the tiger had the recessive allele. This means that the tiger died.
