About a week ago my cousin gave me a survey to do on my family to help her with her science project which she was collecting data on people that have similar blood and what similarities and differences they had. I had to interview my grandpa, grandma, dad and my sister (my mom wasn't in the study)to collect data which I could send back to my cousin.
The first example of different/similar genes was detached and attached earlobes. Earlobes are the bottom of your ear (the place where people get earrings), if they are detached then the earlobes hang freely while if they were attached the would be connected to the rest of your head. Through interviewing, only my dad and I had detached earlobes while my grandma, grandpa and sister didn't.
Example #2 and #3 were if you had freckles and if you had hair on the back of you hand. None of our family had that and they should all be self-explanatory.
The next example was if you could roll your tongue. By rolling your tongue you make a "U" shape with your tongue without using your hands to change it. When people grow older some may learn how to roll the tongue through practice or if they just gain more control over themselves and somehow know how to do it. It was all but my grandpa who couldn't roll his tongue.
The last example was if you had a "Widow's hairline". This is when your hairline has a sudden dip in the middle of it. Again most of us didn't have it except my grandmother.
This study made me more aware of how blood and genes make people different but while I was very similar to my dad with things I might of inherited from him.
