What is the name of the process that is the passing of physical characteristic down from one generation to the other?
The process by which a living thing passes its characteristics and traits to another generation can be called reproduction. More precisely the study of how these things are inherited is genetics.
What passes traits from one generation to the next?
chromosomes
What is the definition of hereditary?
Heredity: Heredity is the passing of traits to offspring (from its parent or ancestors). This is the process by which an offspring cell or organism acquires or becomes predisposed to the characteristics of its parent cell or organism. Through heredity, variations exhibited by individuals can accumulate and cause some species to evolve. Some common (human) hereditary traits are eye and hair color and ethnicity. The study of heredity in biology is called genetics, which includes the field of epigenetics.
Biological fitness is the ability of the individual to?
contribute to the gene pool of the next generation.
What is the success of an organism in passing on its genes to the next generation called?
fitness
What is the study of how organism pass traits from one generation to the next that is only 8 letters long?
Genetics is the study of biological inheritance, passing traits from one generation to another.
What is the passing of traits from one generation to the next?
Passing traits from one generation to the next is called inheriting them. This may be red hair, freckles, being very tall or short, or having a funny personality.

What body system is responsible for passing traits from one generation to the next?
reproductive system
Who transfer the biological informantion genes or gamets?
The genes transfer the biological information. If you mean passing genes on to the next generation, it would be the genes in the gametes.
What might have cause Gregor Mendel NOT to conclude that biological inheritance is determined by factors that are passes from one generation to the next?
if the f14 pea plants had traits of neither parent Mendel might not have concluded that factors for traits are passed from one generation to the next
How do traits differ from one generation to the next?
Genetic traits differ from one generation to the next because the next generation has genes from both parents, unless of course you are talking about a clone. Also, the genetics of the next generation can be from recessive traits of the parents.
Does the word inheritance mean the passing of traits from one generation to the next?
No. The word you are looking for is genetics. Inheritanceis the practice of passing on property, titles, debts, and obligations upon the death of an individual.

What is the passing trait from only parent to offspring?
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.
How are traits passed from generation to the next?
Inheritance of genes.
What passes traits from one generation to the next?
chromosomes
