Summary: This week in class we learned about Heredity. Heredity is the passing of traits and DNA from Parents to Children. DNA is like the instructions in your cell to tell it what to do.  There are four letters in the DNA alphabet GCAT, and those combine to make genes, aka the blueprint to proteins. A trait is a physical or behavioral attribute that parents pass down to their children and it makes us the way we are.
