its Heredity is the study of traits passed down from parents to offspring influenced by DNA. Heredity is a process in which a person gets some of the physical and mental qualities of his or her parents. The biological process whereby genetic factors are transmitted from one generation to the next.

Each parent passing only one allele for a trait to its offspring is known as?

This is known as Mendelian inheritance, where each parent contributes one allele for a trait to their offspring. This process follows Mendel's principles of segregation and independent assortment.


A parent that is homozygous for a dominant trait is crossed with a parent that is homozygous for the recessive trait What percentage of the offspring will display the dominant trait?

100% of the offspring will display the dominant trait because the homozygous dominant parent can only pass on the dominant allele. The offspring will inherit one dominant allele from the dominant parent and one recessive allele from the recessive parent, resulting in a heterozygous genotype expressing the dominant trait.


What is the principle that each parent passes only one allele for a trait its offspring?

Segregation


Are recessive traits are always shown in an organism offspring?

No, a recessive trait will only show in the offspring if there is no dominant allele masking it. The trait that will always show in the offspring is the dominant allele, provided one parent was homozygous for it.


Are Recessive traits always shown in an organism's offspring?

No, a recessive trait will only show in the offspring if there is no dominant allele masking it. The trait that will always show in the offspring is the dominant allele, provided one parent was homozygous for it.


If parent one crosses my parent to a percentage of aspirin will display the recessive trait?

In genetics, if one parent carries a recessive trait, it can only be expressed in the offspring if both parents contribute the recessive allele. If "parent one" is crossed with another parent that does not carry the recessive trait, the offspring may inherit the dominant trait. However, if the second parent also carries the recessive allele, there is a chance that the offspring could display the recessive trait depending on the genetic makeup of both parents. The reference to "aspirin" seems unclear in this context; if it pertains to a specific trait or condition, please provide more detail.


Mendel's theory says that an offspring never gets both trait-controllers from the same parent which of his laws state this?

Mendel's Law of Segregation states that each parent contributes only one allele for each trait to their offspring, and these alleles segregate during gamete formation. This means that offspring do not receive both trait-controlling alleles from the same parent.


Why are only inherited traits not acquired one necessary for the process of natural selection?

Because the offspring of an organism with a desirable inherited trait is more likely to survive than the offspring of an organism with a desirable acquired trait (because the offspring of an organism with a desirable acquired trait will not have its parent's desirable trait).


What trait that may not show when an animal carries it but which can be passed on to its offspring and perhaps show there is called what kind of trait?

A trait that may not be visibly expressed in an animal but can be passed on to its offspring is called a "recessive trait." This trait is only observable when an organism has two copies of the gene responsible for it, one from each parent.


What is the only way a recessive trait will be expressed?

Breed/use only organisms showing the recessive trait for starters. If one of the parents or progenitor lines show the dominant trait then don't use their offspring. If the offspring of one of the oranisims show the dominant trait then remove both the parent of this offspring and this offspring showing the dominant trait from your program.


In which offspring does a dominant trait appear?

A dominant trait will appear in offspring that inherits at least one copy of the dominant allele from either parent. If an individual has two different alleles for a trait (one dominant and one recessive), the dominant trait will be expressed.


When Mendel breed pure breed pea plants Why did all the offspring only take on the trait of one parent?

Because they were all homozygous.
