Today, we started our genetics unit by completing an inventory of traits. We asked the question is a dominant trait always the most common trait in a population?
In Google Classroom, students took a survey of 12 genetic traits to see whether they had one version or a trait or the other. Following this, we analyzed the overall class data to see how prevalent, or common, a trait was in our population. Students must analyze the Widow's peak and tongue rolling traits, then select 3 of the other survey traits. Each time we count how many students have each version of the trait, calculate percentages and see whether the dominant version of a trait is more common than the recessive version.
In class, we had enough time to complete the traits survey and collect data into our data tables. For homework, students should answer the four analysis question in the Google Classroom document and submit it prior by Monday at 8 a.m.
