2. Foldable (Glue on RIGHT side)
Fold your sheet of paper in half
Fold the sides in so that you have two sides that open
Cut each of the top flaps into 4 sections
Write the following vocabulary words on the outside (one on each flap):
Heredity

Genes
Allele
Dominant
Recessive
Genotype
Phenotype
For each word, write the definition and then color/label a sketch

Traits: Physical characteristics that are a result of your genes
Genes: Chunks of DNA that code for traits; represented with letters of the alphabet
