Question

Many different traits in the human race are the result of recessive or dominant inheritance. Select a trait from the list below and create a family pedigree chart for the trait. Complete at least three generations . You may use your own family, a friends family or a famous celebrity family to create your pedigree. 

**Human Traits and Genetic Inheritance**

This chart provides a summary of various human traits, categorizing them into dominant and recessive traits. Understanding these traits helps us learn about genetic inheritance and diversity.

1. **Baldness**
   - **Dominant Trait:** Presence
   - **Recessive Trait:** Absence

2. **Hair Wave**
   - **Dominant Trait:** Wavy
   - **Recessive Trait:** Not wavy

3. **Hairline**
   - **Dominant Trait:** Widow’s Peak
   - **Recessive Trait:** Straight

4. **Cleft Chin**
   - **Dominant Trait:** Yes
   - **Recessive Trait:** No

   - **Dominant Trait:** Free earlobes
   - **Recessive Trait:** Attached earlobes

9. **Ear Length**
   - **Dominant Trait:** Long
   - **Recessive Trait:** Short

10. **Eyelashes**
    - **Dominant Trait:** Long

    - **Recessive Trait:** Perfect/normal eyesight

12. **Color Blindness**
    - **Dominant Trait:** Not color blind
    - **Recessive Trait:** Yes

13. **Mongolian Eye Fold**
    - **Dominant Trait:** Yes
    - **Recessive Trait:** No

14. **Nose Width**
    - **Dominant Trait:** Broad nose
    - **Recessive Trait:** Narrow nose

15. **Roman Nose**
    - **Dominant Trait:** Roman nose
    - **Recessive Trait:** No prominent bridge

These traits can be used to study patterns of inheritance in families and provide insight into human genetics.
