What I learned from reading these articles is that how close chimps genes are to us humans they are only off by a couple genes. I also learned that everyone has there own unique set of genes and that know one is the same at all. Twins are almost identical but they are still not the same. Another thing is that scientist can clone DNA but aren't quite advanced to do it properly.

Heredity And Traits

On this site I learned about Heredity and Traits. First Heredity is what we inherit from our parents for example our height color eyes and color hair are Heredity. For Traits I learned about our thumbs when a baby has a hitchhikers thumb both of the parents have it because it is the weaker Trait. A regular traight thumb is the dominant trait and if one parent has a hitchhikers and the other has a regular thumb the baby will come out with a regular thumb.
