Genetics relates to the book we are reading in literature. We are reading To Kill a Mockingbird. In chapter 15, Haper Lee said the Jem(Jeremy Finch), resembled his father, Atticus Finch. Here are the exact words: "Jem's soft brown hair and eyes, his oval face, and snug fitting ears were our mothers, contrasting to Atticus's graying black hair, squarecut features, but they were alike somehow." All of these traits were passed down through heredity. One that stuck out to me in specific was "were our mothers". This told me that Jem resembled their mom more than there dad, most likely because she had the dominant traits.
