Survey at least 20 people to find out what traits they have for each of the features below. Tally the numbers for each trait and record those totals in each column.

When completing the survey, be sure to include yourself as one of the individuals surveyed. Also include at least one set of parents and offspring in the individuals you survey. Document the features of each member of the family you surveyed within the data table, but also make a special note of these features in the observation section of your report. This information will be important when writing your conclusion.
