Question

Each new feature (adaptation) represents a new gene or set of genes that code for the adaptation (example - a set of genes for produced fur). Where do you think these genes (DNA) come from?

Answer 1

Like chromosomes, genes also come in pairs. Each of your parents has two copies of each of their genes, and each parent passes along just one copy to make up the genes you have. Genes that are passed on to you determine many of your traits, such as your hair color and skin color.
