Heredity and Genetic Information

Your research into the characteristics and traits of rice and horses brought out some very interesting findings. Let's look at it further!

Because of your work, the research team has decided that the trait we most want rice to have is high starch. Why do some kinds of rice have a higher amount of starch than others? Other scientists have found that particular characteristics and traits are usually determined by something called genetic information. How does it work? In this Activity, we will answer that question!

The researchers working on my team have developed an animation to help us understand more about rice. This animation focuses on where genetic information is located in rice. Take a look at the animation and let us know what information you can glean from it. Thanks!
