Question

Hey guys please help with these questions. 1. If we get genetic information from both parents, why do some of my traits come from only one of them? 2. What is the probability that my child will have a particular trait? 3. How did I get a trait that neither of my parents had?

Answer 1

1. we get certain traits from one parent because that trait is dominated by that one parent. 2. you have a 50/50 chance that a child will have your trait. 3. you can inherit a trait that none of your parents have because you could've inherited from another family member.
