Modeling Multiple-Allele Genes
in NetLogo
By Max Harmony and Haven Mills
Jim Lyons, mentor
What we did:
 We decided to investigate how the color
gene is carried through generations if it is
controlled by four alleles.
 We developed a model in NetLogo.
 We used the model to see what
would
happen with different starting populations.
Our Genes
 The gene for color in our model has four
variations, or alleles: B, b, R, r.
 The capital letters represent dominant
forms, and lower case, recessive.
 Dominant forms give darker colors.
 There are ten different pairings possible:
BB, Bb, bb, Br, br, RR, Rr, rr Rb, RB.
