For our very first blog entry, I would like to share with you about a very interesting yet tricky topic which is, GENETICS. As we all know, offspring resemble their parents more than they do unrelated individuals. The transmission of traits from one generation to the next is called inheritance, or heredity. However, sons and daughters are not identical copies of either parent or of their siblings. BUT WHY ?!! Naa, this is because along with inherited similarity, there is also variation. :)
Offspring acquire genes from parents by inheriting chromosomes
Family friends may tell you that you have your mother's freckles or your father's eyes. Of course, parents do not, in any literal sense, give their children freckles, eyes, hair, or any other traits. OUH WAIT! then, what is actually inherited ?
Naaa, this is the things that we actually inherited from our parents. A GENES. |
The genes we inherited from our mothers and fathers are our genetic link to our parents, and they account for family resemblances such as shared eye colors or freckles.
So, enough with a little introduction on genetics topic today. Hope all of you have a clearer mind on genetic after reading this entry. InshaAllah. See you soon then, bye, Assalamalaikum :)
