    This document provides instructions for a family tree (pedigree) project. Students are asked to create four pedigree charts tracing four different traits (such as tongue rolling, earlobe attachment, etc.) over at least three generations of their family. The charts should include symbols to indicate gender and presence/absence of each trait, and identify the genotype and phenotype for each family member. Students will need to interview family members to obtain information and chart at least 12 relatives in total going back to grandparents.

    Family Tree (Pedigree) Project

    Name_____________________

    Project Overview:

    How many times have you heard from a relative, You look just like your mom? Or

    you might hear, Youre grandfather had the same nose as you. Its obvious to us that traits are passed down
    from generation to generation. A pedigree is like a map that shows how traits are distributed through a familys
    generations.
    In this project, you will create four different pedigree charts for at least ten members of your own family. You
    will chart the passing of four different traits for three generations of your family. Clearly indicate and label
    the traits you are tracing. You will need a key on Pedigree chart. Use the letters below to indicate a particular
    allele (upper case letters for the dominant allele and lower case letters for the recessive allele). For example,
    for tongue rolling, use the letter R for family members who can roll their tongue and r for family members
    who cannot roll their tongue (use different letters for different traits).
    You will need to ask questions of your parents, grandparents, or any other family member with an in-depth
    knowledge of your family tree. You can use your creativity in the design of the pedigree chart, but proper
    pedigree symbols must be used. Make sure that you number each generation and individual.

    = female with trait


    = male with trait
    Pedigree requirements:

    = female without trait


    = male without trait

    I.

    Choose a trait to investigate in your family (thus, you will turn in four different pedigree charts - each on a
    separate sheet of paper).
    II. Pedigree should contain at least 12 people
    III.
    Pedigree should go back at least 3 generations. (Grandparents, Parents and you)
    IV.
    Pedigree should be on an 8.5 x 11 in. piece of paper.
    V.
    Pedigree should have a key; use appropriate pedigree symbols.
    Also note for each individual:
    A. Genotype (when able)
    B. Phenotype
    C. Name of relative

    List of possible traits: (choose four)


    Tongue rolling (RR or Rr = roller, rr = non-roller)
    Attached earlobes (EE or Ee = unattached, ee = attached)
    Mid-digital hair [hair between the first two knuckles] (MM or Mm = hair, mm = no hair)
    Hitch-hikers thumb (TT or Tt = hitch-hiker, tt = non-hitch hiker)
    Widows peak (WW or Ww = widow's peak, ww = no widow's peak)
    Dimples (cheeks) (DD or Dd = present, dd = no dimples)
    Freckles (FF or Ff = present, ff = no freckles)
    Bent little finger (AA or Aa= bent, aa=straight)
    Dominate Hand (HH or Hh = right handed, hh = left handed)
    Folded Hands (GG or Gg= Left thumb over right, gg = right over left)
    (if there is another trait you would like to do please see me)
