While reading the passage "What is Heredity?"I have learned manny important and new facts. One fact i never even new was that humans can have more then thousands of genes. Also, one word that stuck out the most was the word chromosomes. I had no idea what the word was until I went to that website. Huumans have two sets of 23 chromosomes. Humans have a total of 46 chromsomes 2 times 23 equals 46. Parents contribute one complete set of chromosomes when having a child. Childs recieve 1/2 chromosomes from their mother, and the other half from their father. The transformation takes place when the sprem cell joins with the egg cell. When the sprem cell and the egg cell join they create a single cell called zygore. The cell than divides quickly creating a child. When the baby grows up and starts a family she'll contribute to the new child creating half of there cromosome. The last thing i learned was that throught the process of the cromosomes that is how some traits are passed on from genoration to another gernoration.
While I read "What is Traits?" I have leaned all of the three different kinds of traits. One trait is physical. The phyical trait includeds the chaceristics of ones physical makeup plus hair color eye color along with how tall the will be when they grow up (hight). Another trait is behavioal. The behavioral trait includeds the chareristices of the way the act and how the behave around other people. The last trait is Predisposition to medical conditions. That trait includeds an increased risk of getting a disease from on parents that could be passed onto the child. Genetics are our genes that determine our natural hair color . The enviroment helps with our hair. Like if you have blonde hair, and go out into the sun the sun will make your hair lighter. As you get older your hair starts to darken so thats why some people as they age decided to dye their hair to a different or lighter color. The hair color you had as a child will most likely be the color of your childs depending on the genes you had in your family.
