Activity 9.1
Observe the ears of all the students in the class.
Prepare a list of students having free or attached earlobes and calculate the percentage of students having each (Fig. 9.2).Find out about the earlobes of the parents of each student in the class. Correlate the earlobe type of each student with that of their parents. Based on this evidence, suggest a possible rule for the inheritance of earlobe types.
