they are passed down through your dominant and recessive traits. Dominant contributes to the way you look and recessivecontributes to the way you act.

What are heritable traits?
The word inherited means that it is passed down through the genes from parent to child.
What is the name for the procces of passing down genes?
Heredity material is the genes which are made up of DNA. The passage of genes from parent to offspring results in the genetic make up of every cell in the human body. The genes determine the traits of an organism.
When does genetic variation occur?
It happnes when genes are being passed down from the parent to the offspring and environmental differences alter the genes being passed down
What is the difference between genes and protiens?
Genes contain your DNA while proteins are a source that is broken down so your body can continue normal actions(:
Why did scientists expect that human would have more genes than they actually do?
As humans seem to be the most complex and intelligent creatures, their genes simply must have been stronger (sarcasm on the last seven words). And so, once people understood how genes worked, they decided that humans would have more genes. Also, if genes are passed down from every generation to the next, then logic must make it that the oldest creatures would have the most, hence we should have more than a dog, a cat, a mouse, etc. (Domesticated animals have evolved to fit their masters' needs,) but much less than a cockroach, which is the oldest living creature on the planet.
What percentage of breast cancer is down to a genetic fault?
5% of breast cancer is down due to a genetic fault. These genes are passed down through abnormal genes passed from parent to child. An example of this is the BRCA genes.
Whats something that passes to the children when the parent dies?
If the parents have royalty then that will pass down to the kids,and whatever they give the kids in their will passes down to them!

How are simple inherited traits passed from parents to their offspring and then to the next generation?
Simple inherited traits are passed down because each parent contains genes which are given to their offspring. The offspring inherits or receives these traits. The offspring then passes down those traits to their offspring. Each time there is a new generation, the original trait becomes less evident. The recessive traits decrease by a certain percent every time a new set of genes are added.
How do crossover events during meiosis benefit organisms?
Crossover events during meiosis benefit in two major areas: 1. It aids in randomness. This means a character the mom hands down and a character the father hands down can be completely different in their child, due to crossing over of sections of genes. 2. It helps prevent inhereted disorders. It can help "fight" against a disorder that a parent has and passes gentetically.
How traits are passed down?
When living things reproduce, their genes get passed on which contain some traits from that parent. This process continues as the organism reproduces.
What are the different genes?
genes are the traits past down to their offsprings.
What are three genes that are passed down from parents to child?
Three genes?The human genome is composed of about 20000 genes, ALL of which are passed down from parents to child.
