For my 3rd 30 Day Challenge, I decided to research the science behind heredity and genetics. I wanted to do this challenge because I wanted to learn how a person's traits (both physical and personality wise) are determined.
I already knew a lot about genetics before I started this challenge. I know that some traits are dominant, and others are recessive. A dominant gene is the more common gene, and will often overtake the recessive gene, which is less common. For example, brown eyes are dominant and blue are recessive. If the mom of a child has brown eyes and the dad has blue, then the child will have brown eyes, because they are the dominant genes. I also know that physical traits aren't the only traits that are inheritable. A child can also inherit their parents' personalities.
This project could be a little difficult, however. Biology isn't extremely hard for me, but it isn't my easiest subject, so some of the information I collect might be a little hard for me to understand. But I still think this is a very interesting topic and can't wait to learn more about it.
