Hey, where did you get those genes?!?
Today we\u2019re talking genes - the recipe for you! We\u2019ll go microscopic and check out how traits like hair color are passed down through your family. We\u2019ll also hear the story of genetics pioneer Nettie Stevens and find out how current-day geneticist Janina Jeff unlocks the information packed in genes. And if you have ever wondered how two black Labrador retrievers can be the parents of a yellow Lab, you\u2019re not alone. We have the answer to that too. All this and an especially rambunctious Mystery Sound. Don\u2019t forget to listen to through to the end, where the Moment of Um tackles the question: do we sneeze in our sleep?
