When I read "what is heredity?" and "what are traits?" I learned many things. When I read "what is heredity?" I learned that heredity is when traits are passed down from your parents or other family members. Also I learned that we look like our family because we inherit traits from our family members. For example if nobody in your family has black hair except you and your grandma, that means you inherited the black hair trait from your grandma. When I read "what are traits?" I learned that our genes define our traits which are made of DNA and reside in our chromosomes. The environment we grow up in also defines our traits. For example if someones hair is a certain color exposure to sunlight could have an affect on the hair and may change the hair color. This was a very interesting and informative article and I have learned alot from this.
