Description

These human traits can be either dominant or recessive. The objective is to determine how the dominant and recessive human traits occur in the classroom students. The ratio should be 75% dominant just like the results of the tall and short pea plants in Mendel's F2 generation.

Life science standard

Give examples of ways in which genetic variation and environmental factors are causes of evolution and the diversity of organisms.

Make a hypothesis on the outcome of distribution of the dominant and recessive traits.

Take note of your traits that are listed in the table below:
