#Of people with trait
Free earlobes 20 100%
Attached earlobes 0 0%

Hair on knuckles 5 25%
No hair on knuckles 15 75%

Widow's peak 5 25%
Straight hair line 15 75%

Curly hair 10 50%
Straight hair 10 50%

Cleft chin 2 10%
No cleft chin 18 90%

Mom: free earlobes, no hair on knuckles, straight hairline, curly hair no cleft chin
Dad: Free earlobes, no hair on kuckles, widow's peak, straight hair, no cleft chin
Me: free earlobes, no hair on knuckles, straight hairline. straight hair, no cleft chin

I think that free earlobes is the dominant trait (Because none of the 20 people I surveyed had attached earlobes). I think that no hair on knuckles is the dominant trait (Because 75% of the people I that surveyed had it). I think that straight hair line is the dominant trait ( Because 75% of the people I that surveyed had it). I don't know whether straight hair or curly hair is the dominant trait (Because it was an even split). I think that no cleft chin is the dominant trait (Because 90% of the people I surveyed had it). I don't seem to exhibit any of the recessive traits shown here. I shared the same chin shape, earlobes and amount of hair on knuckles. I didn't exhibit any trait that was not exhibited in my parents. If an offspring exhibited a recessive trait that neither parent exhibited, it would mean that both parents carried it. I was surprised that none of the 20 people had attatched earlobes. Yes, It is possible that a recessive trait

    Dry Wallum The dry wallum is a harsh environment that is battered by the sun and wind every day and with a base of porous sand; water availability is very scarce and must be conserved. The abiotic factors in the dry wallum are that the area is exposed to high amounts of sunlight which causes a loss of water in the leaves through transpiration. Since the wallum is so dry and hot; bush fires play a major cycle in the dry wallum which the trees have adapted to cope with. The roots of the plant and tree species have to cope with the leeching of nutrients because of the high porosity sand in the dry wallum.…
