What are characteristics called that an offspring inherits from its parents?
the answer is different parts of bodys
What is the probability that the offspring will inherit a PP genotype?
It depends on the parents' genes. If both parent have a Pp genotype, then the offspring has a 25% chance of having a PP genotype. But if both parents have a PP genotype then its 100%.
What is the transmission of characteristics from parents to offspring?
heribable
The passing of traits from parents to offspring is called?
Heredity's the passing of traits from parent to offspring.This is the simpler way to say it as well, the traits i have has been passed to me by my parents,it is called heredity.
How can you use the concept of genetic inheritance to disprove Lamark's idea of the inheritance of acquired characteristics?
Lamarck's theory is disproved through many different examples of acquired characteristics. Anything that happens to a parent would be passed on to the offspring. Acoording to Lamarck, a parent that has tattoos would pass on the tattoos to the offspring. Loss of limb, injuries, cosmetic surgery or anything that changed in the parents would manifest in the offspring. This is not the case. Acquired characteristics are not passed on to offspring unless they change the gene sequence of the sex cells. Parents do not give physical characteristics to offspring, but do give the coding for those characteristics. The gene passes on the trait.
Where do the allels from offspring come from?
Offspring inherit their alleles from their parents.
How can offspring inherit a recessive trait?
An offspring can inherit a recessive trait if both of its parents are homozygous for the dominant allele.
Does your offspring inherit sins of parents?
From a scientific perspective, there has been no evidence to suggest that the offspring inherits the sins of the parents.
The passing on of characteristics from parents to offspring?
The passing on of characteristics from parents to offspring is known as heredity. Some characteristics include hair or eye color, dimples and freckles.
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.
How did Mendel control the variations in the offspring generation?
Mendel did not control them. He simply predicted what characteristics the offspring would inherit.
How did mendel control the variations in the offspring generations?

How do offspring get traits like those of their parents?
through chromosomes
How do offspring get their traits?
Both parents contribute DNA to the offspring, and that is found in the package of an egg(female) or sperm(male).
What is the form offspring similar to parents?
form offspring similar to parents in the animal cell
The triat that appears in the offspring is called?
the characteristics which are passed on by to a offspring by its parents
What are passed from parents to offspring?
genetic characteristics
