Traits

     It is hard to figure out what a baby is going to look like because of how random it is.  This is called independent assortment, its when all options are possible.  It all starts out in the genes, the control what traits a person has.  The genes are then made up of alleles that are randomly selected.  The child gets what its traits are in a thing called genotypes.  Each genotype is made up of a select number of alleles.  To get the childs genotypes you combine the parents genotypes.  These can be both dominant and resesive.  A dominant allele will make sure that the child has the trait and a recessive allele can skip a generation.  Once all of The genotypes have been made you then have the genetic makeup for your child and what it wil look like.  So as you can see chance plays a big role in what a child looks like.
