How do offspring get traits like those of their parents?
through chromosomes
Do offspring that result from meiosis have twice as many chromosomes as their parents?
No, meosis is a process that ensures that the offspring will have the SAME number of chromosomes as their parents. Hope this helped!
What role do DNA and chromosomes play in heredity?
according to the chromosome theory of inheritance,genes are carried from parents to their offspring on chromosomes.
Is the sex of the offspring determined by the female parents chromosomes?
No. it is determined by the male parent's 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).
How do offspring get traits like those of their parents?
through chromosomes
Characteristics offspring inherit from there parents?
genes that we get from our parents that are passed down to the offspring.
How many chromosomes do they inherit from the parents like is it half or identical?
each parent gives half of its chromosomes, so the offspring will have full amount of chromosomes, two halves.
The theory of genetic inheritance?
The two parents mate and their offspring *usually inherit the more dominant genetic trait. *I say usually because there are rare occurrences in which the offspring has a variation
Where do the allels from offspring come from?
Offspring inherit their alleles from their parents.
What are the possible causes of genetic variation?
Anaphase 1 - the crossing over of chromosomes, they swap genetic material determining what you genetically inherit
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.
Why is there variation?
the change that occur from parents in the offspring
Why do sexual reproduction results in more genetic variation in a species?
It combines different sets of DNA, instead of replicating the same set.
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.
Do offspring that result from meiosis have twice as many chromosomes as their parents?
No, meosis is a process that ensures that the offspring will have the SAME number of chromosomes as their parents. Hope this helped!
What carries genes from parents to offspring?
The chromosomes are the ones that carry genes from parents to offspring. This is done through meiosis where sex cells are produced.
