Eugenics Project

All this information is from http://www.eugenicsarchive.org/eugenics/

Talents: if you were musically talented or even slightly musically talented they would make a baby and most of the time the kid would be musically talented and some were not and some were slightly musically talented and the reason they did this was because they wanted to see if talents really did come through eugenics and as you see it can be a high possibility if a parent did have a musical talent

criminality: Back then scientists say that the reason for crime was because of defective genes even though they did not deny that it may be because of their poor social and cultural background might contribute to crime they just decided to blame it on their biological background.

I found this on the criminality tab and the image #1072 the second image #936



Birth and population control: In the 20th century the rate of population grew even more especially when it came to the poor and as a result they tried reducing the population by making birth control but their was a little debate in making birth control but it eventually happened.

Some pictures as proof of overpopulation in the poor the picture number is #1734

Create a baby Genetics

In this lab we compared our genotype to see what are baby would look like. If one of us had the same trait or different we would flip a coin and we would put the dominate or recessive genotype and it would determine what they would have (For an example if my partner didn't have a dimple and I had a dimple we would flip a coin and see if it would be a dominate genotype or not). After the genotype process we both drew how our baby would look like by just looking at the baby's phenotype which we drew separately without looking at each others paper.

Harry potter Genetics


 In this lab I learned how to determine genotypes and phenotypes to see their chances of them having this trait from their parents.
