Who we are and how we appear depends greatly upon our genetic inheritance. In this unit we demonstrate how certain traits of parents are passed on to their children through a fun "guess the offspring" game.

We have relied upon JavaScript to make this game interactive. Before you can play, you must turn JavaScript on in your web browser (see your "preferences" dialog box for these options). If your browser does not support JavaScript, you may still enjoy reading the text as the interactive portions are a minor part of the content of these pages.
