(That looks like a window to a house.) Step #4 Split the letters for each parent. Step #5 Determine possible genotypes. Step #6 Summarize the results. Step #7 Be happy you accomplished something.

Me and my dad got a new boat. The boat was a bass boat with a 50 horsepower engine, 4 seats, steering wheeling driving, and 2 live wells. the gas tank and battery was stolen out of it. I slept in until at least 11:00 am every day. I finished 2 books. Each book had over 500 to 600 pages.
