So... how many of you guys have a brother or sister?? I have both, actually, haha. Do they look like you? I'm... umm... pretty sure they do. That's because you guys have the same genes. I'm gonna start by talking about dominant traits.
So, as you see, the little girl has brown hair. Her dad had orange (okay,okay, "strawberry blonde") hair, and her mom had brown hair. So why didn't the girl have orange hair? Because brown hair is the more dominant trait. She still has the orange hair gene, but the brown one just overrules it. There are alot of dominant traits, actually. Curly hair to straight, brown hair and eyes to every other color. Oh yeah, the traits that don't show up are recessive.
So, my dad has brown hair, and so does my mom. So how do I have blonde hair? I really don't know how.... but I can guess! My dad probably had a blonde hair gene somewhere that was covered up by a brown haired one. Same with my mom.

See that guy? His name is Gregor Mendel (thus the title). All this stuff I'm teaching you? Yeah, well he found all this stuff out. Pretty impressive,eh? He used peas. Peas. I''m serious. He bred different kinds of peas and saw which traits showed up. It's pretty cool if you ask me.
And now... for the grand finale... A VIDEO!!! I KNOW! IT'S BEEN SO LONG!!
Hope this was an awesome post! Cya next time! SuperSaraSuperBye!!!
