Or put another way, does the dominant allele for a given trait show up as the prevalent phenotype in the population at large?

Stay up to date on current issues in genetics! Go to current issues.

Fall Dates Coming Soon!!!

Participants will:

  • Survey phenotypic traits of classmates and schoolmates.
  • Compile data with students from around the world.
  • Analyze data to determine if the prevalent phenotype is the dominant allele.
  •  

    Join the project for a unique opportunity to study genetics as experienced scientists do!  For more details see the project overview.  

     
     
    This project is based on the earlier work of Ellie Semel and Frances Kenny .
