In the This Is Me project, we had to research our family history and genetics. The photo above shows my family pedigree. When researching my family’s generics, I recorded if my family members had dark eyes or light eyes. Because I had Spanish class, I had to write my relation to each person in Spanish. There is a legend in the bottom left which shows what each symbol means. The red shapes represent light eyes, and the purple shapes represent dark eyes. When looking at this pedigree, you can see how the eye color trait is passed down through the generations. For this project, we were able to chose between eye color, hitchhikers thumb, and widows peak. I chose eye color, as it was the most interesting to me. Overall, I learned a lot from this project, as it taught me my about my family’s genetics.
