Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm learning about genetics in school. What is heredity?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Heredity refers to the passing of traits from parents to their offspring through genes. It's how you might inherit things like eye color, hair color, or height from your parents.<|im_end|>

So, does that mean I'll definitely have the same eye color as my mom?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Not necessarily. Heredity is based on the combination of genes from both parents. You might inherit your mom's eye color, but you could also inherit your dad's, or even a combination of both.<|im_end|>

That makes sense. Thanks for explaining it to me!<|im_end|>
