The Heredity and Variation SciPack explores patterns of inheritance and discusses how offspring can look similar to their parents yet still possess differences within their genetic code. These differences can sometimes affect (positively or negatively) an offspring’s ability to survive and reproduce. Our ancestors used their observations of plants and animals to cultivate crops and domesticate animals. Now, through the use of technology and our current understanding of the DNA molecule, scientists can study individual genes and a gene’s impact on the inheritance of traits.
