What would the world be like if we were ALL
THE SAME?

exactly the same!
HOW BORING!!!

WHAT MAKES US ALL
DIFFERENT?
No, not Jeans, GENES!
It is in our Genes!
Genes are your basic unit of heredity that carry traits from your parents, to you!
What in the world are Genes?
Believe It or Not…….
You share 49.99% of your genes with the person next to you.
The rest make you uniquely “YOU!”

Determine?

Sometimes, genes “mutate” creating even more distinct differences among people and animals.
How cool is that?!
Believe It or Not…..Some mutations occur because of natural
causes, while others are caused by environmental causes such as pollution

So, ask yourself THIS question…
Why do people make fun of differences when we are ALL 50.01% different???
