For homework we had to go onto this website and write in detail 2 things that we learned about traits and heredity. http://learn.genetics.utah.edu

One thing that I learned from the website about traits is that you can inherit may diffrent kinds of traits from your parents. These include physical traits, behavoral traits, and predisposition to a medical condition. Physical Traits are characteristics of one's makeup. One example would be your eye color or the color of your skin. Behavoral Traits are the characteristics of the way one acts. One example of this would be a sheepdog dogs instinct to herd. Predisposition to a medical condition means that you have an increased chance of getting a diesease, not like the flu something that you can get from the enviroment but like sickle cell animea, or cystic fiborosis.

One thing that I learned from the website about heredity is that you get your traits from your parents. Each human body contains two complete sets of chromosomes. Each parents contribiuts one complete set to the child. This way we can inherit traits which become a part of heredity.
