All about Genes and Traits
Genes are instructions inside every cell that decide features like eye colour, hair type and height. You inherit your genes from your parents, which is why you may look like them. A feature you can see or measure is called a trait.
Some traits come from a mix of genes and surroundings, such as how tall a person grows. Humans share about 99. 9 percent of their DNA with each other, and the small differences make each person unique.
