Written by Hassel Hamilton

Introduction

Through the years scientist have been a debating what cause the body to behave they it

does .Some people say that is genetics some say it is environment I thank that it is both

genes and environment .Have you ever wonder how you got your eye color and your

brown , black , red , and blond or how you got as tall as you have or how we are as big

as we are or as little as we are

The influence of Heredity on behavior

Heredity has been debated on your years. Heredity influence who and what we are

because of our genetic make up is inherit from our mother and father through

genes . The human body has a central control panel that has cells where genes and

chromosomes are contained .There are no genes for behavior but genes can influence

behavior such as the way we anticipate, respond, the way we look in behave. Genes

are the basic unit of heredity and is a small part of DNA and DNA is (Axia text) the

main ingredient in chromosomes. Heredity is () transfer of traits that are passed down.

Genes are lined up with chromosomes and they come in pairs that are a tiny

threadlike bodies that are a small part of DNA in which are enzymes that are encoded

with proteins that are passed from one generations to the next. Our genes come in

two pairs that are linked on to our chromosomes and we each have a dominant gene

and a recessive gene for example if a brown eyed husband causes the brown eyed

wife to become pregnant the embryo is going to have both the parents genes with the

eye color brown “B” which is a dominant gene, and this applies also to two parents

with blue eyes “b” is recessive gene . On the opposite hand if you have two

parents who have

    DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid and looks like a spiral. The spiral is also known as a double helix. The strands are made up of our genetic information, composed of genes and chromosomes. There are four bases divided among purines and pyrimidines. On the purines there are Adenine (A) and Guanine (G). On the pyrimidines there are Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T). The base pairs are Adenine and Thymine (A-T) and Cytosine and Guanine (C-G). DNA is found in the nucleus of every human cell. Humans have 46 chromosomes. When a cell reproduces, the chromosomes get copied and distributed to each offspring.…
