We are, our genes...

Did you know that your genes determine whether or not you possess certain physical traits? Well, they do. It's your genes that make you blue eyed or brown eyed, or have brown or blond hair. These traits are highly complex, and involve the interaction of many genes. However, several traits are determined by only one gene, and if you have the gene then you have the trait.

You have two genes for every trait. You get one from your mother and one from your father. Certain genes are dominant, and you only need one of the pair to give you its trait. If you don't have a dominant gene, then you are recessive for that trait.

3) Would you like to know what is mutation of genes?
