Physical traits are observable characteristics determined by specific segments of DNA called genes. The objectives of this study are to determine prevalence of some selected morphogenetic traits among the students of Faculty of Arts and Science and check the association of the each specific morphogenetic trait with the gender. This study was conducted from February to Jun 2023.The methodology used in this study was combination of descriptive , interviews and observations of the individuals .A total of 100 students are observed for 24 different morphogenetic traits such as body hair, bent pinkie, blood pressure rate, cleft in chin ,crossing of thumbs, dimples, earlobes, eyelash length, freckles, hairline, hair color, handedness, hitchhiker’s thumbs, lips width, mid-digital hair, mongolian eye fold ,nose shape, nose width, toe length, tone hearing , tongue rolling (side edges up) , webbed fingers ,pigmented iris and polydactyly. The prevalence and inheritance patterns of the different morphogenetic varied among male and female students in Faculty of Arts and Science. These differences arise due to genetic and environmental factors. Chi-square test and Fisher's Exact Test show association of gender with some of the traits on the other hand no association of gender with general of the traits.
