Analysis and Conclusion: .
.
Using what you have learned in the lesson and gathered from your survey, write a conclusion paragraph
analyzing your results in your conclusion (Be sure to address the following questions:
Identify the trait that you believe to be dominant for each of the features surveyed. Explain your
reasoning
What recessive features do you exhibit? Do you have any relatives who exhibit those same features?
In the family you surveyed, what features did the offspring share with one or both parents? Were there
any features that the offspring exhibited that were not exhibited by either parent?
How is it possible for an offspring to exhibit a recessive trait if neither parent exhibited that recessive
trait? What must be true about the parents' genes for this to occur?
Are there any results in your data that surprised you?
It is possible that a recessive trait in a survey such as this one may have a greater total number than its
dominant counterpart. Explain how that might happen in an investigation like this.
How might surveying a different number of people or different population of people possibly change
the percentages that you calculated?
