What do you inherit?

Inheritance is when parents pass traits onto you, such as your eye colour.  Has anyone ever said you look like your Mum, Dad or even your Granny? We did a few different activities which we enjoyed. One of the activities was making a trait tree- we got 2 coloured pieces of paper and drew round our hands on each of the fingers we wrote traits we inherited from our parents. We also had a go at breeding Mr Men.
