The alleles that are passed from parents to offspring
Can mutations be passed from parents to offspring?
You can probably get a better idea from Wikipedia's article on Mutations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation
Why do persons having a mutation pass this condition on to their offspring?
Genes are passed down from parents to offspring. That's why the mutant gene would be in the offspring.

Scientists used data from Gregor Mendels studies to choke that information about traits passed from parents to offspring through?
Traits are passed from parents to offspring through genes.
Is the blueprint for life passed from parents to offspring?
The blueprint for life is passed from parent to offspring through sexual reproduction and the transfer of genes. The genes ensure that the offspring develop traits that closely resemble those of the parents.
Why is it important for an offspring to inherit the traits from its parents?
Offspring must inherit traits from its parents because it parents contained genes that were dominant and survived. the genes passed from parent to offspring are important because they are the dominant genes of survival. they passed of survival genes to help their offspring live longer.
What will determine the genotype of an organism?
The alleles that are passed from parents to offspring
