I was informally challenged to make genetically-themed Christmas cookies to bring into the hospital tomorrow. Here's what I came up with...
This is an inheritance pattern for the dreaded green-sprinkle disease, which is recessive. Symptoms of the disease are pink frosting and deliciousness. As you can clearly see, the mother (top left) is an affected cookie, while her husband is a carrier. Should they choose to procreate, they would have a fifty percent chance of baking an affected cookie and a fifty percent chance of baking a carrier cookie. Knowledge is power.
Here we see a cookie afflicted with a spontaneous mutation causing him to be an albino. Note the characteristic red sprinkles.
Another cookie family. This example includes an unaffected mother and a carrier father, and their two cookie children.
You know I didn't stop at gingerbread man inheritance charts.
