exactly like you.Besidespeople,there are millions of other living things.Every living thing is different from each other.Every living thing isa unique combination of characteristics.Why is each living thing unique?Where do its characteristics come from?Do people receive characteristicsfrom their mothers and fathers?How?The work of Gregor Mendel was especially important to help us to answerthese questions.Mendel studied plants,especially pea plants.In some way they were all the same.For example,they all hadflowers.But some had red flowers,and others had white flowers.Some were tall,others were short.Mendel wasespecially interested in the differences.He wondered why each plant was of certain color,shape,size.Heexperimented with thousands of pea plants,with a careful record.And he discovered some interesting things.Hemated different pea plants.First,he mated a red flower plant with a white flower plant.All of the offspring plantshad red flowers.Mendel was curious about what happened to the white.Then he mated two of the offspring plants.Every time he did this,they produced three red plants and one white plant.There was the white again.So Mendelknew that even red plants somehow passed on whiteness.Mendel decided that pea plants carried factors,and theparents passed these factors onto their offspring.Today we call these factors genes.Genes are tiny pieces of matter.They carry information from parents tooffspring.Now we know that every person is unique and one reason for this is that every person is a uniquecombination of genes.6.In the first paragraph,the

colors red and white10.Which of the following statements is true?_A_.A.Every person is unique because he is a unique combination of genesB.Genes only exist in plants,not in animalsC.Although there are
