traits that people have. It is still normal though, only few have those kind of traits. I can
say that every person does really have their own traits that is different from the others.

3. Describe some recognizable characteristics in your family and siblings.

Answer: In our family, some recognizable traits we have is that we all have dimples,
the out of nowhere long single strand of hair in different places of our body and also my
siblings and I are nearsighted and do have migraines.

4. Who among the siblings more likely similar to your father or your mother?
Answer: The first born son/ older brother.
 5. Why do you think similarities and differences exist in your family?
Answer: Because we have different set of genes that happen when my mother and
father shared half of their genes to create ours.

6. Explain why you and your siblings not exactly the same of your mother nor your
father?
Answer: It is because our parent actually has two different sets of genes. Each one of
them passes only half of their genes to us and that will end up having a different and
unique genes. It was discussed by our high school teachers about chromosomes.
