Heredity & Traits
- The passing of traits from parents to child is the basis of heredity
- Everybody has thousands & thousands of genes
- Genes may specify your certain hair color
- Humans have 2 sets of 24 chromosomes
- Every child receives half of its chromosomes from its mother & half from it's father
- Each parent contributes one complete set of chromosomes to the child
- Traits are passed from different generation to generation, we inherit traits from our parents & then they are transferred down to the children's children to continue the cycle.
- What is the true definition of a trait?
- What kinds of traits are there?
- Can several traits be passed down?
- Can a trait skip over a child?
I liked the fact that everyone has thousands and thousands of genes. I also beleive that you should follow up on the questions you asked afterwards.
