Genetic Inheritance in People

Take charge of the way you learn science with interactive exercises and animations. Discover how people inherit genes from their parents and why they possess certain characteristics.

Create a couple by selecting a mother and father and examine their alleles for different genetic traits, such as hair color and dimples. Then predict the alleles that must be present in their children based on each parent’s traits.

• Determine the genetic makeup of a child based on the parents’ traits.
• Choose the dominant or recessive alleles for particular traits.
• Predict the child’s traits for hair color, eye color, dimples, and ability to roll their tongue.
• Discover why and when a child exhibits a recessive trait.
