Use this data table to keep track of the traits listed above.
There are _____ people in class today.
Each member of your group will choose one of the above traits.
Circulate around the room, surveying & recording the numbers of each
allele for your trait, until you have a response from every person in class.
Fill in the first 4 columns of your data table.
Return to your group and exchange data.
Calculate the percentages for each trait.
Fill in these numbers on your data table.
For example Total students = 20
5 can roll tongue = x5 =25%
100

Pick letters to represent traits, like abbreviations.
The dominant allele is written with a capital letter.
The recessive allele gets a lower case letter.
W = dominant widow's peak allelew = recessive straight hairline allele
E = Free Ear Lobes ( dominant)e = Attached Earlobes (recessive )
H = Hitch-hiker's Thumbh = Straight Thumb
R = Tongue rollingr = lack of tongue rolling ability
