Genetics, put simply, are what make up everybody and the dog. They code all of our cells, make all of our protein, and make up part of who we are.

Genes are the little bits that make up genetics. There's lots of complex molecules and atoms and letters and names and other associated crap, but we're not here to look at T C G A or any boring old chemistry. I want to go breed a lilac up-eared Chihuahua dog, not go to high school. So, we're skipping the science and going to the maths.

There's lots of tools to help calculate genetics in children and lots of tools to edit them, and we're gonna look at one RIGHT NOW- go look at the next chapter.
