Thanks for all your help! Here's the final results.

 

Ear lobes free (dominant) 36

Ear lobes fused (recessive) 17

 

Dimples (dominant) 21

No dimples (recessive) 35

 

Crease in chin (dominant) 4

No crease in chin (recessive) 49

 

Ability to fold tip of tongue back (dominant) 36

Lack of ability to fold tip (recessive) 19

 

Ability to roll tongue into a roll (dominant) 39

Lack of ability to roll tongue (recessive) 16

 

Her conclusion is that just because science tells us certain genes are dominant, that doesn't mean they will always be dominant. Real life doesn't always go as science predicts. :001_smile:
