Genes' Loud & Quiet
What is the difference between dominant and recessive traits?
Every living thing carries a tiny instruction booklet inside it, written in a code called genes. You got two copies of almost every instruction — one from each parent. But here's the fun part: sometimes those two copies disagree. So who wins the argument?
