Today we had the pleasure of having 2 high school biology students and their teacher come in to answer genetics questions we had. The kids asked some very interesting and probing questions including:
"Why did I get more genes from my mom"
"Do your genes fall out if you cut yourself and bleed"
"Why does your hair turn color as you get older"
and my favorite..."How do you get genes from your dad when your mom is the only pregnant one" To this question, I said "Thats a great question for your parents!" Sorry parents, I just wasn't prepared to have that talk quite yet!!!
Here are some pictures from our discussion:
