Presentation transcript:

Acquired vs. Inherited Traits

Characteristics = Traits You are a unique individual Characteristics (eye color, basketball skills, height, blood type, etc.) about you are called traits

Inherited Traits Received from your biological parents Heredity = passing of genes from parents to offspring Examples: natural eye color, hair color, height, blood type

Acquired Traits Developed during life (not born with it) Examples Things you learned (riding a bike, reading, writing) Things that happened to you (short hair, cut-off finger)

Acquired traits end with you! CANNOT pass on acquired traits to offspring NOT in DNA/genes! Example: Your kids won’t be born with a missing arm if you cut off your arm first!

Inherited traits & Sex Sexual Reproduction Half of genes from mother (egg) Half of genes from father (sperm)

Some traits are both! Skin color is a combination trait Inherited part: Receive genes for skin color from parents Acquired part: Amount of time in the sun determines level of tan
