Squirrel!

All organisms possess unique characteristics, or traits, that make them who they are! Traits are inherited, or passed down from one generation to the next, and hold our genetic information. From brown eyes to naturally curly hair, the traits we express make us both unique and similar to one another! But what influences the traits in a population, or group of organisms living in an environment? Let me introduce you to Sam and his squirrel family! They are going to help us explore how traits can be influenced in a population!
