What are the traits passed from parents to progeny?
its sexual reproduction
Are traits passed from offspring to parents?
yup! they are passed through deoxyribonucleic acid also known as DNA. DNA is passed down through reproduction.
What are traits that are gained during an organism's life and not determined genetically?
Acquired Traits/Characteristics
During sexual reproduction the new offspring gets some of its traits from its mother and some from its father?
true
What do organisims pass on their offspring?
Organisms pass down their DNA, their genetic code, down to their offspring during reproduction. This is what defines the offspring make up and determines what genetic conditions will be passed on to them.
Why is lamarck's theory not supported by the theory of natural selection?
Lamarck thought that traits organisms acquired during their lifetime would be passed on to offspring. He believed that traits were determined by use or disuse. However, acquired traits cannot be passed on to offspring; only traits determined by DNA can
In human reproduction when are traits passed from parent to offspring?
Hereditary traits are the traits passed from parent to offspring in human reproduction. Eye color, hair color, freckles, nose size, and others are hereditary traits.
Why is it that lamarck's suggestion that organisms arise spontaneously and then become increasingly more complex is not supported by the theory of natural selection?
Because lamarck thought that traits organisms aquired during their lifetime would be passed on to offspring. He believed that traits were determined by use or disuse. However, aquired traits cannot be passed on to offspring, only traits determined by DNA can.

Would you get a variety of offspring traits during asexual or sexual reproduction?
Sexual reproduction promotes variation.

How does the structure of DNA make it possible for traits to be passed on from one generation to another?
Chromosomes which are passed in our cells during reproduction are made up of DNA strands which are basically combinations which result in unique "blueprints" for humans. part of the theory of evolution
Explain the difference between artificial and natural selection?
Artificial selection is anthropogenic -- humans interfere with nature to determine what traits get passed on, whereas natural selection is when through sexual reproduction the traits passed on are determined by survival of the fittest.
What are those inherited traits?
Inherited traits are things such as hair color, eye color, height, etc. These are determined by the recessive and dominant genes passed on by the biological parents.
What process is necessary for the inherited traits of an organism to be passed along by sexual reproduction?
acquired characteristics
During sexual reproduction the new offspring gets some of its traits from its mother and some from its father?
true
