Using our class population data above, answer the questions below. 1. Were you surprised by any aspect of this survey? Is so what surprised you? 1. Were you surprised that a trait was effected by a gene like how you interlace your fingers when you fold your hands? Explain. 2. Were you surprised that taste and flavor could be genetic? Explain. 2. Are all Dominant phenotype traits the most common trait in our population? Which dominant traits were most common? What is your evidence? 3. Are any Recessive phenotype traits the most common trait in our population? Which recessive traits were the most common? What is your evidence? 4. Dominant and Recessive does not define the frequency of a phenotype in a population. We expect recessive traits to be less common because they are only expressed if the individual is homozygous recessive. What would explain that some recessive traits are the most common phenotype in a population?

1. Were you surprised that a trait was effected by a gene like how you interlace your fingers when you fold your
hands? Explain.
2. Were you surprised that taste and flavor could be genetic? Explain.
2. Are all Dominant phenotype traits the most common trait in our population? Which dominant traits were most
common? What is your evidence?
3. Are any Recessive phenotype traits the most common trait in our population? Which recessive traits were the most
common? What is your evidence?
4. Dominant and Recessive does not define the frequency of a phenotype in a population. We expect recessive traits
to be less common because they are only expressed if the individual is homozygous recessive. What would explain
that some recessive traits are the most common phenotype in a population?
