Variation Lab

Now that you can see everyone's data for the measurement lab, the averages should be at the bottom of the spreadsheet....

Answer the following questions on your blog about the information that you have collected.

1.  What were the trends that you noticed in each of the frequency graphs?
2.  How many people had "extreme" traits?
3.  What trait had the most variation?
4.  How would having variation within a trait benefit the entire species?  How would having no variation be detrimental to the success of the species?
5.  How could having extreme traits be beneficial?  Can you find an example in nature?
6.  How did you come to have the characteristics that you have?  (ie. why are you short?)
7.  What is a gene?  What is DNA? Where did you get your DNA?
