MS is not considered a hereditary disease, so it is not directly inherited through your parents.

However, many genetic factors have been identified that increase the risk of the disease. This means that you may inherit genetics from your parents which increase the risk - but do not automatically mean you will have MS.

Scientists used data from Gregor Mendels studies to choke that information about traits passed from parents to offspring through?

Scientists used data from Gregor Mendel's studies to determine that information about traits is passed from parents to offspring through discrete units called genes. These genes are located on chromosomes and carry the instructions for specific traits that are inherited by offspring from their parents. Mendel's work laid the foundation for the field of genetics.


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.


How do heritable characteristicts occur?

Heritable characteristics are passed on from parents to offspring through genes. Genes are segments of DNA that code for specific traits, and they are inherited through the reproductive cells (sperm and egg). Offspring inherit a combination of genes from both parents, which determines their unique genetic makeup and characteristics.


How is genetic information is passed from parents to offspring?

The traits are passed on through gametes, in which the males sperm carries, and the females eggs are carried. Each only contains one of each chromotids which decides your traits depending on the matches the chromosomes make.


What do gametes contain that help with heredity?

DNA of the parents! Heredity means it is passed on through the biological family.


What characteristics that are passed from parent to their children?

Genetic characteristics such as eye color, hair color, height, and blood type are passed from parents to their children. These traits are determined by the combination of genes inherited from both parents. Additionally, certain genetic disorders or predispositions can also be passed down from parents to their children.
