Inherited Traits Living things get or inherit traits, such as, eye color or face shape from their parents. Heredity is the process through which traits are passed from parents to their offspring Inherited traits include hair color, height etc

Inherited Traits You are born with it!!!! Face shape Hair Color Height People & Animals Plants You are born with it!!!! Face shape Hair Color Height Blood Type Ear shape Freckles Fur color They are born with it!!! Colors of flower Fruit Shape of leaves

Learned Traits You were NOT born with it!! People Animals How to ride a bike How to read How to play basketball How to sit How to beg How to be house-broken How to roll over

Chromosomes Chromosomes are located in the nucleus of the cell Chromosomes are rod-shaped structures which carry all the traits of an organism. Human cells have 23 pairs (46) chromosomes. A child gets one-half his/her chromosomes from his mother and one-half his/her chromosomes from his father.

Genes One chromosome can have hundreds of genes on it! Genes are short pieces of DNA (an acid that has the genetic code)

Learned or Inherited Trait? Shape of a bird’s beak?

Learned or Inherited Trait? A bear hibernates during the winter
