Traits passed from parents to their offspring are determined by genes. These traits can include physical characteristics (like eye color or height) as well as genetic predispositions to certain diseases or conditions. The combination of genes from each parent contributes to the unique genetic makeup of an individual.

If traits that are passed on by parents are different they are said to be?

If traits passed on by parents are different, they are said to be heterozygous. This means the individual has two different alleles for a particular gene.


How are traits passed from parents to offspring?

Traits are passed from parents to offspring through the transmission of genes. Genes are sections of DNA that code for specific traits, and offspring inherit a combination of genes from both parents. This genetic information is then expressed in the offspring’s physical characteristics and traits.


What are characteristics called that an offspring inherits from its parents?

Traits or characteristics that an offspring inherits from its parents are known as genetic traits or inherited traits. These traits are determined by the genetic material passed down from the parents to their offspring.


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.


What is the name of the science that studies which traits are passed from parents to offspring?

Genetics.EDITED: I agree, it's genetics!!!
