For our experiment we decided to verify Gregor Johhonn Mendel's dominant and recessive trait theory by surveying 46 people at our school's science fair. Here  is a  copy of the survey we used.

1. What color are your eyes?

2.What color are your parents eyes? Mother:            Father:

3. What color is   your hair?

4. What color is  your  parents  hair? Mother:            Father:

5. Do you have freckles?

6.Do your parents  have freckles? Mother:                 Father:

7.Do you have  dimples?

8.Do  your  parents have dimples? Mother:                Father:

9.Do  you have naturally  curly hair?

10.Do your parents  have naturally curly hair? Mother:                Father:

11.Do you have naturally dark hair?*

12.Do your parents have naturally dark hair? Mother:        Father:

*Many people inquired on how this question differed from the first and we replied that we asked  this to get more precise results, because you can have light brown hair, dark brown hair, etc.
