GENETIC VARIETY
Genetic variation is a good thing because it makes all animals different. This is because they get some genes from their mom and some genes from their dad. If the child only got the genes from one partent then the parent and the child would look exactly alike.
This is one of the reasons there is crossing over in the during the process of meiosis. This is when one of chromotid crosses ove to another chromosome. They also switch the chromotid with another chromotid.
When we made our Reebops, each generation of Reebops added a few new colors. This is because the new generation is made up of the mom's genes and the dad's gene. Then when a new generation of Reebops come they have their parents genes who have their parents genes etc.
