PHENOTYPE

Create monster plants using classical genetics.

Maintain your collection of specimens to fill incoming orders. Which plants should be kept for the next generation? Which traits have unexpected combinations?

ABOUT
Fill Orders to unlock new plant species (currently 3 species) as well as more challenging Orders. How many turns does it take to reach Level 4 mastery for all plants? 

TIPS
While the game involves a fair bit of luck, it also involves skill in manipulating the genetics to solve orders. It follows principles of simple dominance (e.g. green dominant over white), co-dominance (e.g. green and silver both display), and incomplete dominance (e.g. red and white result in pink). For refreshers on the topic:

• Field of Alleles
• Khan Academy

Some phenotypes are based on recessive genes, and will be less likely to appear on their own. If you find yourself repeatedly using the Selector to keep adding single individuals into the pool, consider breeding more plants in your plot, because it's likely that some of them are hiding those genes you need.

This game is dedicated to my AP Biology teacher. All these years later and I still remember how to solve a Punnett square.
