Greenwood Genetic Center

Why do I have brown hair and my sister has blonde hair? Today we visit Greenwood Genetic Center to explore genetics and how traits are determined through our DNA.

7.L.4A. Conceptual Understanding: Inheritance is the key process causing similarities between parental organisms and their offspring. Organisms that reproduce sexually transfer genetic information (DNA) to their offspring. This transfer of genetic information through inheritance leads to greater similarity among individuals within a population than between populations. Technology allows humans to influence the transfer of genetic information.
