Inherited traits include things such as hair color, eye color, muscle structure, bone structure, and even features like the shape of a nose. Inheritable traits are traits that get passed down from generation to the next generation. This might include things like passing red hair down in a family.

Four Behavioral Characteristics of Cats

• Cats are very sensitive to their interpersonal space.
• Cats often do not have strict social hierarchies.
• Cats are subtle in their display of friendly, or affiliative behaviors.
• Once aroused into threatening behaviors, cats can remain so for quite a long time.

Cat personalities vary greatly, but personality traits shared by all cats are their independent natures, cleanliness habits and the ability to be aloof and very, very quiet when necessary.

Traits are passed on through the genes in sperm and egg. During which part of sexual reproduction are the inherited genetic traits of an organism determined?

How do alleles determine the expression of traits? if the two alleles are dominant then the dominant trait will be expressed. if the two alleles are recessive then the recessive trait will be expressed.

Genes are small sections of the long chain of DNA. They are the basic physical and functional units of heredity. In humans, genes vary in size from a few hundred DNA bases to more than two million bases. The Human Genome Project has estimated that humans have between 20,000 and 25,000 genes.

Traits can be controlled by incomplete alleles and codominant alleles, or by genes with more than two possible alleles. Traits can also be controlled by several genes. The diploid cells of most adult organisms contain two complete sets of inherited chromosomes and so two complete sets of genes.

The traits an organism displays are ultimately determined by the genes it inherited from its parents, in other words by its genotype. Variant copies of a gene are called alleles, and an individual’s genotype is the sum of all the alleles inherited from the parents.

The Law of Independent Assortment states that alleles for separate traits are passed independently of one another from parents to offspring. That is, the biological selection of an allele for one trait has nothing to do with the selection of an allele for any other trait.

Traits are determined by genes, and also they are determined by the interaction with the environment with genes. And remember that genes are the messages in our DNA that define individual characteristics. So the trait is the manifestation of the product of a gene that is coded for by the DNA.

Everything about yourself and your life could be under the influence of your genes, new research says. Genes play a greater role in traits as self-control, decision making or sociability than previously thought.

Procrastination and laziness are based in our genetics, and you can be predisposed to both, says Sharad Paul, MD, author of The Genetics Of Health: Understand Your Genes for Better Health. While procrastination seems like a character flaw, it evolved for a reason.

Is it true that you are more than the sum of your genes? To some people, genetic perfection may value more than who they are, but to me it doesn’t. Genes just describe what your body is going to look like not what you will do. The chemicals(DNA) that make don’t prevent or cause whether you do something foolish or good.

4. Discuss at least THREE preparations Vincent had to do everyday to pass as Jerome Morrow at GATTACA. Three preparations were his hair, his urine and his cut legs.

As the movie GATTACA implies, a society reliant solely on genetics definitely has a few flaws. For one, the use of genetic identification would be abused. As the movie showed, people with less adequate genes (such as Vincent) would be unable to achieve their dreams.

In Gattaca, Vincent and his brother Anton play a game of chicken, which Anton always wins. Vincent finally beats his brother in chicken and has to save his brother from drowning.
