Did you know dogs have 39 pairs of chromosomes in each cell? Chromosomes are made up of thousands of genes that carry traits inscribed in DNA. Just like you, your dog gets one set of genes from its mom and another from its dad. Since traits are inherited, all sorts of mix and matching can occur on the genetic level (examples). Genes are made up of four chemical bases represented by the letters A, T, C, and G. These bases combine in specific ways to create the blueprint for dogs. Blueprints we decode every day.
