  1. Ems Genetics By Pam Cohea

  2. On the planet Hersh lived two different organisms called the Mords and the Mims. The Mords lived in the Northern Hemisphere and the Mims lived in the Southern Hemisphere.

  3. One beautiful fall day a Mord was walking along and came across a Mim on the path. It was love at first sight.

  4. All the Mords of the Northern Hemisphere were shocked and said that a Mord could never marry a Mim. All of the Mims of the Southern Hemisphere were equally outraged and yelled that no Mim would ever marry a Mord. But as love will often find a way, the Mord and Mim were secretly married. They called themselves the Ems.

  5. Both the Mords and the Mims were angry and banished the Ems to a deserted island – where the happy couple found plenty of food, water, oxygen and space!

  6. The nice couple wondered what characteristics their children might have. They decided to use the genetic lessons they learned in school to discover the possible characteristics of their children.

  7. They remembered that each offspring, or baby, received genes from the dad and from the mom. These genes made up strands of chromosomes located in each nucleus of every cell. This information determines how the offspring will look and sometimes even act. The stronger gene is called the dominant gene and the weaker gene is called the recessive gene. Each parent gives the offspring 2 genes for each trait.

  8. What color will our children be? Brown is a dominant trait in Mords. Blue is a recessive trait in Mims. blue & blue bb Brown & Brown BB

  9. What size will our children be? Tall is a dominant trait in Mords. Short is a recessive trait in Mims. short & short ss Tall & Tall TT

  10. Many other Mords and Mims came to the island.

  11. What color were the grandchildren of the Mords and Mims? The parents of these children each had a dominant and recessive gene for the color trait. blue & Brown bB Brown & blue Bb

  12. What size were the grandchildren of the Mords and Mims? The parents of these children each had a dominant and recessive gene for the size trait. short & Tall sT Tall & short Ts

  13. As more children were born, the Ems community grew and grew. The Ems found out that variety is great. It is okay to be born different colors and sizes. The Ems lived happily ever after (and the temperature never got hot enough to melt them away)!
