Because they're a mixture of those parents; some from Mom, some from Dad. Occasionally, a child looks very much like one parent, but this is just appearance; exactly half of you came from each parent.

They get genetic information from both parents. Otherwise they would be clones.

Some do, it depends on a few things. If the ground around the shed has a good slope away and the flood grates arent plugged then it should be fine. Watch to see if the ground slopes away not towards.


If ignorance is lack of knowledge what is the difference between ignorance and innocence?

Innocence is a state that can invite opportunities for learning!.Ignorance is a state brought about by the lack of desire to learn!.Therefore, we cannot deem an innocent person as ignorant, nor affirm the statement in another way!. They are two completely different things!.Www@QuestionHome@Com-----------I would like to add that the info above this i cant completely agree with. I have seen some innocent children with some ignorant parents almost raised to be ignorant. It could be a mental problem, it could be some event that went down who knows. Lets say for example some very religious parties raise their children to be very innocent at times. Their beliefs could be some misinterpretation of an old scripture or something we don't know. But if you've met these ppl they will be ignorant and mean towards people who do not accept their beliefs. After you grow up i believe you are no longer as innocent i know of tons of people whove lost all innocence. But they arent ignorant. As well as the other way around. So basically i don't believe these two words are polar opposites or even just opposites.

Why arent child re identical to either one of their parents?

Children share the traits of each parent. Each parent provides 26 chromosomes to the baby and DNA for the developing fetus. There are dominant and recessive genes that determine things like eye and hair color, so when a baby is born they have a combination of both parents DNA.

Why arent children identical to either one of their parents?

There are a number of reasons: First, the genes children inherit are half from their mother and half from their father, because the sperm and the egg each contain only half the genetic material necessary for an organism to develop. So even if no other factors created variability, children would be a mixture of their parents rather than identical to them. Second, the alleles (versions of genetic code for a given feature) that end up in the sperm or egg are also random. Each parent has two alleles for each trait, which may or may not both be expressed. For instance, since brown eyes are a dominant trait, a brown eyed parent might actually have one brown eye allele and one blue eye allele. This parent would still have a 50% chance of passing the blue allele onto their child, despite the fact that it is not expressed in the parent. Further variation can be added through mutations. These are errors that occur in DNA replication, causing the resulting organism to have a randomly created new gene that neither of the parents had.
