13. You get one set of genes from your mother and one from your father. * Mark only one oval. True False

True! Each parent contributes one set of chromosomes to their offspring, which means you get half of your genetic material from your mother and half from your father. This combination is what makes you unique, contributing to your eye color, hair type, height, and even certain personality traits! In a fun twist, did you know that the tiny variations within those genes, called alleles, can lead to all sorts of differences? For instance, some people might have a gene for straight hair while others have one for curly hair. It's fascinating how such small changes can lead to such diverse traits among siblings and relatives!
