Genetics, Carolina Biological Supply Company, Burlington, North Carolina. (Heredity is used to show how anatomical and physiological traits are produced. One example used is how we become right or left-handed, a trait inherited as a simple autosomal dominant gene. Polydactylism (many fingers or toes) and blood groups (A80) in humans are used to further illustrate inheritance.
