genes, or genetic traits (the
colorful bands shown here )

Heredity
 At the time of
conception 23
chromosomes from the
sperm, and 23

YOU!
 All the genetic
information contained
in the sperm and egg
are passed on to you
Heredity
 Some traits are stronger than others and are more
likely to appear when chromosomes come together.
 For example, the gene for brown eyes is stronger than
the gene for blue eyes.
 Dominant Gene – stronger gene that is more likely to
appear (ex brown eyes)

personality depend on a few things…
