Genes and Heredity Quiz

Genes and Heredity Quiz offers a look into a topic that connects us all. In the 1990s, scientists launched the Human Genome Project with the ambitious goal of mapping every gene in the human body. After years of international teamwork, the project succeeded in unlocking our genetic blueprint. One surprising finding was that humans share nearly 99.9% of their DNA with each other, proving just how closely related we all are. That small 0.1% difference explains everything from eye colour to certain inherited conditions. This heredity trivia quiz is a great way to explore the subject in a relaxed and interactive format. Try it out and see how much you know about the basics of genetics.
