Surveying Inherited Traits

Are some traits more common than others? To find out the answer we surveyed our classmates for three traits. After collecting our data, we made a bar graph and stated our conclusions.

I think more kids will be able to curl their tongue, have unattached earlobes, and no widow's peak. I asked 20 people and made a tally of my results. I was right. ...Sam
