My dad's traits are: free ear lobe, no window's peak, hair on fingers, straight hair, smooth chin, dimples.
My dad has more dominant traits then my mom. Me and my dad share the same exact traits because his are more dominant then my mom's.

My First Blog

My favorite thing that we have done in Mrs. Forinash's class has been just recently when we learned about genetics. I liked learning about Punnet Squares, different alleles, recessive and dominant traits, and how people get their eye, skin, and hair color. But what I really liked doing was pairing up with other people in our class and making our own pets and their children. This chapter has also helped me in a way because I want to go into the medical feild when I get older and studying genetics has been a really interesting chapter for me.
