ReplyDeleteI disagree Ms.Lindsay. I did a lab on heredity. Actually a sperm cell has more components in it which hold the traits of the human being. When the cell is being used and a person is conceived the traits are being passed on. But you can get your traits from uncles aunts grandparents. But there can be other reasons. As I said traits are made when a sperm cell is being used and a person is conceived. But your traits can be made regularly. Like height, and growth. If you drink milk, bicycle,and eat banana you can make your own height. But eye color and skin color that come from parents, uncles and family members.
