the two traits in the baby lab that involved more then 2 genes were skin and eye colour. When more genes are involved, like in skin color or height, there is more variation because each gene adds to the trait’s expression. This results in a wider range of phenotypes.

I think a trait I wouldn’t want my baby to have is a connected brow or a larger nose because I won’t want these traits to potentially impact my baby’s self esteem to how others may see her. I think these biases and prejudices can be influenced by social media and societal standards.
