¿Por qué nos parecemos a nuestros papás La Genética?

The video explores the genetic basis of family resemblance, explaining how traits are inherited from parents and can skip generations. It introduces Mendel's experiments with peas, which revealed the concepts of dominant and recessive alleles. The video also discusses genotype and phenotype, and how complex traits like eye color and baldness are determined by multiple genes.

Why do some traits appear to skip a generation?

• Because they are linked to environmental factors.

• Because they are dominant traits.

• Because they are recessive traits that can be hidden.

• Because they are not inherited genetically.
