Science HW due jan 5th

I visited the website (posted below) about traits and heredity. I learned many things i did not know before. For example, I learned that each parent has two sets of 23 chromosones, in total they have 46 each. So when one set from both parents meet it will eventually turn into a child giving the baby 46 as well. Also, a parent contributes to one full set of chromosones. The chromosones can come from either of the parents two sets. The only rule to this is, the child has top recieve exactly one of each chromosone. Lastly, every child has a different set of chromosones wich will lead to some resembling the mother and some will resemble the father.
