Genetic Zoo Nursery (Mid)

In this game, you will learn about genetics. A zookeeper has mixed up children and parents in the zoo. It's your job to use genetic information to place children with the correct parents. Many traits are inherited, so you will use clues to match parents with children. Study each genetic report carefully to make sure you can get these children back to their parents. Good luck!
