Lets look at the Bouviers They all have
unusual coloured hair. Is this inherited? Possibly
. We would need more information to be
sure. They all also have a forward-sloping
posture. This is probably inherited. Marge and
Jackie have similar hairstyles. This is probably
not inherited.
10
What about the Simpsons? Mona, Homer, and Herb
Powell all have very similar eyes. This is most
likely to be inherited. Although Abe is old, he,
Homer, and Herb share very similar face shapes.
This is probably inherited. Abe and Homer appear
to be overweight. Mona and Herb are not, so this
is probably caused by environmental factors.
11
The Simpson Children Which characteristics do
the children share with their parents? All three
children have the same ear shape as Homer. This
is an inherited characteristic. Marge, Bart, and
Lisa all have a similar shaped mouth, which is
likely to be an inherited characteristic. Lisa
is very intelligent and good at schoolwork. Bart
is less intelligent, and often in trouble at
school. Bart probably inherits his personality
from Homer, and Lisa inherits these
characteristics from Marge.
12
The Simpson Children All three children have
spiky yellow hair. Where is this inherited
from? Not Marge. What about Homer? Dont know,
because he is bald. BUT, look at Grandpa Simpson
