This is a park map image describing genetics, alleles, genes and traits. Under the image of a barrel of apples, the text goes as following: Genetics is the study of heredity. Genetics is a part of our everyday life. Most of the food you eat has been genetically studied and chosen by the farmer for particular traits such as size and flavor. If you had a choice, what type of apple tree would you plant, one that made big bland apples, or one that had small sweet apples? Genetics can help people choose a tree that will make big and sweet apples. Under the image of a group of people with different skin color and features, the text goes as following: Alleles are all the different forms that genes for a specific trait can express. For instance, think about all the different hair color people can have. People can have red, black, blonde, or brown hair and many colors in between. Next to the image of a big dog and a small dog, the text goes as following: Genes are segments of DNA that contain information that help make up our inside and outside characteristics. Under the image of a DNA, the text goes as following: DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. These are the molecules that contain the chemical part of the codes for making all the proteins in an organism's body. The proteins then form the tissues and act as control chemicals for body processes. Next to the image of a pair of glasses, the text goes as following: Traits are the characteristics that are passed down from parents, like your eye color (brown or blue) baldness (hair or no hair), height (tall or short). So, if you have poor vision this is a trait you can blame on your parent.
