Human Genetics Is the dominant trait most prevalent? We surveyed our class to see how many students showed dominant or recessive traits. The seven traits surveyed were, mid-digit hair, pinky, color blindness, dimples, forelock, thumb, and types of ear lobes. These results along with the rest of the results submitted by students in the project were analyzed. Class Hypothesis Click here Process & Results • We totaled # of people surveyed and totals for each trait . • We decided if the dominant or recessive trait was present for each of the 7 traits examined in this project. • We graphed our findings on excel. What we know about ear lobes • Free ear lobes are (d) • Attached ear lobes are (r) (d)=dominant ®=recessive More things about Ear Lobes is… • Dominant ear lobes are free ear lobes. Dominant ear lobes are those that hang below the point of attachment to the head. • Recessive are attached ear lobes. Attached ear lobes are attached directly to the side of the head. Attached ear lobes, the recessive trait, the most Common in this study. ear lobes 2500 2000 1500 1000 500 0 Series1 ear lobes totol free att was PhotoPhoto Credits: .The Amazing Picture Machine PhotoPhoto Credits: .The Amazing Picture Machine.
