For organisms with relatively few offspring, it is difficult to deduce the underlying rules of Mendelian inheritance, since the result of a cross does not necessarily result in the predicted ratios of phenotypes. A computer simulation (Parakeet Tango©), and a simple coin-toss game are useful for illustrating the fundamentals of Mendelian genetics for organisms with relatively few offspring.
