You got me! Coffee all over the keyboard for the f**king drywall. Yeah that was me too when I read it :D :D
We did a similar thing for our kids, using the gene for red hair which one of the great grandmas has, and three of the cousins got as well. Ooh, red hair's neat. If I went into more detail re. genes that work in conjunction with other genes, I would use red hair and green eyes to illustrate. It would keep my interest going a lot longer than the Wyandotte hens my grade 11 biology teacher used :P
THe kids have gotten used to me starting every science lesson with "This is the simplified version; later, we'll cover this in more detail, and we'll see where the exceptions happen, But here's the gist of the matter:" Yeah, our kids hear that a lot too ;)
