Answer to Question 1

Answer: Children inherit two copies of every chromosome (one from the father and one from the mother) and gene. If either parent has any genetic defects, at least some of it will pass along to the child. Whether or not the child actually develops the trait depends on what combination of genes the child receives and whether or not the gene is dominant or recessive.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The weight is distributed between her tissues and fluids, her fetus, and the placenta. About one-quarter is made up of extra maternal fat, another quarter is the fetus, followed by extracellular fluids, maternal blood, and a combination of breast tissue, enlarged uterus, the placenta, and amniotic fluid.
