1. because each parent gives the child some of their genes.

A child is made from the

information found in the cells of the parents. Our body is made up of cells. Within each
cell, there is nucleus and within the nucleus are the chromosomes.
A chromosome is basically DNA, actually it's lots of DNA coiled around proteins. Each
human cell has 46 chromosomes in it and it is these chromosomes that determine what
you look like. During fertilization there is a transfer of chromosomes from your parents
and the combination of recessive and dominant genes (in the chromosomes) from your
parents that make you look unique.

2. We cannot predict our DNA which of our mum’s features you will have or which of
your dad’s. We can tell which bits of your DNA came from your mum and which bits
came from your dad, but we can’t tell why you might inherit your mum’s nose, while your
brother/sister might inherit your dad’s. Ultimately, these features are inherited in your
DNA, but its all a bit of luck as to which of your parents features what we will get.
3. when we conceive both genes from our parents it will unify and create a new
characteristic depending on the dominant and recessive traits.For example if your
mother is a homozygous and your father is heterozygous chances of their offspring will
be 50 % homozygous and 50 % heterozygous.
4. There are different signalling molecules and transcription factors which regulates the
cell development and fate determination of the precursors via cell intrinsic and extrinsic
mechanisms. In cell intrinsic or cell autonomous mechanism the molecules are secreted
by the dividing precursors and which determines further proliferation and fate
determination. In cell extrinsic mechanisms these molecules are secreted by the
differentiated cells to regulate the differentiation of precursors non cell autonomously.
5. through mitosis when replicated chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei.
These stages are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. During mitosis,
the chromosomes, which have already duplicated, condense and attach to spindle fibers that pull
one copy of each chromosome to opposite sides of the cell.[2] The result is two genetically identical
daughter nuclei

6.fertilised egg has to divide - making first two, then four, eight, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 and eventually
billions of cells. An embryo takes nine months to grow into a baby.

7. genes is our physical and functional unit of heredity and it is made up of DNA that has the
intructions to make molecules called proteins and it is located in our chromosomes
8.

9. There are an estimated 19,000-20,000 human protein-coding genes. The estimate of the
number of human genes has been repeatedly revised down from initial predictions of 100,000 or
more as genome sequence quality and gene finding methods have improved, and could
continue to drop further
