ACT
Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson shows students a way to calculate the "amount" of inbreeding which results from an incestuous pairing. While this is presented in the show as part of a polygamous cult, the "inbreeding coefficient" is also of business interest to farmers, animal breeders, and other agricultural occupations. Students learn to examine a family tree carefully in order to calculate the inbreeding coefficient.
