Many of the traits we are going to use for this demonstration have been shown to not be simple Mendelian characteristics controlled by a single gene with two allele. For the sake of our activity, we will assume they are so we can complete the activity. Use the reference page below to appromixate a genotype for each of your characteristics.

To learn more about the actual research on the these traits look at the following link
