Are traits passed from offspring to parents?
yup! they are passed through deoxyribonucleic acid also known as DNA. DNA is passed down through reproduction.
How are human mitochondria inherited?
Mitochondrial DNA is almost universally inherited from one's mother. I heard of a case of a man in Italy inheriting his mitochondrial DNA from his father, but I consider it likely he was also sterile--if indeed that did occur.
How can mutations or alterations in the mtDNA be inherited?
Mitochondria are able to replicate by themselves. When mitochondria replicate, a copy of the mitochondrial DNA is present in the daughter mitochondria as well. This is how they are passed on. Edit: Mitochondrial DNA is passed on maternally (ie the mito. that replicate in a new organism are derived from the mother/egg).
Why does Dr. doofensmirtz have a long nose?
It's in the DNA. His mother has the same type of nose.
Who is the father of d n a?
The father can be generally determined using DNA because each of us have distinct DNA markers in our bodies. Because these DNA markers are passed down from our parents into us, their DNA markers are similar to ours.
What happens to the fathers mt DNA?
It does not get passed down to the offspring. Only that of the mother does.

Give the reason that an animal have the same DNA as it a mother?
The DNA strand would have some of the same genetic material because the child is the product of the combined parents' DNA. The mitochondrial DNA is the same barring mutations because it is passed down exactly from mother to child with mutations taking place on average every 1000 generations or so.
What is DNA passed down from father to son?
I think its his genes
What determines your chacteristics?
DNA and your genetic code passed down from your parents.
Are the DNA of blue whales the same?
It depends.Every animal and living thing gets passed down information every generation called DNA It depends.Every animal and living thing gets passed down information every generation called DNA
When there is a mutation in DNA is it passed down?
Yes. Mutations on a cell are passed on to the daughter cells during cell division
What passes from mother to child only?
Mitochondrial DNA is passed on solely from mother to child. The is usually the case with most species, including humans.
How does the inheritance of mitochondrial DNA different found in the nucleus of cells?
Mitochondrial dna is inherited solely from the mother.
How are traits passed from parents to their offspring?
Traits are passed by DNA.
How traits are passed from on generation to the next and how species evolve?
They are inherited through genes and are past down by dna the dna strands get mutated and change
