The question of gene dominance, the apparent lottery of determination and David Bainbridges’s description of the chromosomal dance in his book ‘The X in Sex’, inspired my experiment with metals. Would two metals, copper and tin, components of bronze, when poured simultaneously into a half mould, mix between the two dancing figures when reaching the joining point?
My simple experiment showed that copper did flow into tin and tin into copper during the pour giving a rich mix determined by the melting points of each metal.
