Choose a trait from the list above and describe if you are dominant or recessive for that trait. Do the same for your parents, alternatively, if you have children you can do this with your and your partner's traits and your child(ren), or you can choose a set of parents and children that you know as examples for this exercise. In your response be sure to list how both parents and their child(ren) are expressing the trait, what the potential GENOTYPES are for each individual. What are the possibilities for the parental pair based on their possible genotypes (hint: Punnet Square).

Follow-up Question

according to tongue rolling what is my phenotype and my parents' phenotype from the observed phenotypes?  list the possible genotypes for each, and do a Punnett Square for the parents to determine the likelihood of me having gotten my given phenotype and any insights on what your genotype is from the Punnett Square.
