An organism can have the same parents but different traits, and siblings with different traits. How is this possible?

• The traits are an equal blend like paint

• Organisms get more genes from the mom than the dad. These traits are only from the mom

• Organisms get the same amount of genes from mom and dad.These genes are randomly scrambled and combined making variation in traits

• Organisms only get genes that allow them to survive in an environment. There are never glitches, all organisms are born perfect like Mrs. Reynolds

Two of the same species fish were raised in two different environments. One fish has red fins , and the other fish has yellow fins. Why do the fish have different fin colors ?

• Each fish has different fin colors because they have the same versions of the gene for fin color but different parents. You can only have the same traits as your parents, and all fish and organisms look the same as their parents.

• The fish have different versions of the gene for fin color, which instruct for different proteins that make different fin colors.

A dog has curly hair. Its mother has curly hair, but its father has wavy hair. Which of these statements explains why the dog has curly hair?

• The dog inherited one copy of the gene for fur from its mother and one copy from its father. That gene combination instructs for proteins that make curly hair.

• The dog inherited its copies of the gene for fur from its mother and not from its father. Those genes connect together to make its hair wavy.

The father fox had long ears while a mother fox had short ears. Which of these statements explains why one of the baby foxes could have long ears?

• The baby fox inherited its copies of the gene for ear length from its father and not from its mother. Those genes connect together to make its ears long.

• The baby fox inherited one copy of the gene for ear length from its father and one copy from its mother. The genes from mom and dad combine and scramble, and many combinations are made making it possible to have long, or short ear possibilities.
