Hello from Bolivar Richburg Central School! We were very successful in our observations of dominant and recessive traits. We learned how to tell if people were colorblind. We found that our information was not always consistent with what the dominant trait was expected to be. With only 6 students, we were pleased to be able to interview 145 people within the school. Colorblindness had the lowest frequency (4 out of 145), and dimples came out with almost 50% recessive and 50% dominant. It was a fun project to participate in as we were able to go into other classes to investigate the traits. Other teachers were very supportive as well. If we were able to do this project again, we would like to investigate more people, more traits, and different races of people (our community is not very diverse). Ben wants to remind you to watch the Ricky Martin live concert Friday, Nov. 26, at 8 pm (est) on CBS.
