Answer:

1. Every organism inherits a unique combination of traits. DNA is a set of instructions that specifies the traits of an organism. Information in the DNA molecule is divided into segments (called genes). Variations in the DNA lead to the inheritance of different traits.

2. What is the difference between dominant and recessive traits? Dominant traits are always expressed when the connected allele is dominant, even if only one copy of the dominant trait exists. Recessive traits are expressed only if both the connected alleles are recessive.
