Why? Because you can't be just a nothing, you have to have something in common with parents and you can't have a plain face!
If you get two x chromosomes you will be a girl but if you get one y chromosome, you end up being a boy. Either way you will have two chromosomes and one of them will be an x.
eye color, hair color, freckles, skin color, etc.
Darwin's theory was that beneficial traits would be favored in a population by a mechanism called natural selection. Lamarck proposed that acquired traits would be passed on to the offspring. Darwin's theory is favored over Lamarck's because there is no identified mechanism for passing on acquired traits e.g., your baby will not be born with pierced ears even though yours are pierced. In Darwin's theory, the traits that are favorable for an organism offer some adaptive advantage to those members of the population that possess it. Having the advantage allows them to produce more offspring e.g., rabbits range in color from black to white--in a snowy environment, the white ones have the advantage over the darker ones so they breed, well, like rabbits.
Anne had so much confidence in herself that she never gave up in anything she was doing and she believed in herself. She stayed with Helen till the day she passed away.

Characteristics passed down by parents to the offspring.
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.
Each parent passes on half of their DNA to their offspring. DNA is the code that determines how every single thing in the body is built. So each offspring gets the instructions for half of their body building plan from the mother and half from the father.
it is basically the transmission of genetic characters or traits from parents 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.
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.
Some human inherited traits are transmitted or passes from parent to offspring by sperm cells.
Some protists also can reproduce in pairs. Each member of the pair gives some hereditary material to the offspring. The ofspring are different from either parent. Hereditary refers to properties that are passed from parent to offspring.
Darwin's ObservationsThere is a variation of characteristics/traits within a populationTraits are passed from parent to offspring (heredity)Organisms produce more offspring that are able to survive (overproduction)Due to the lack of resources, some offspring may not survive
Inheritance is the process by the which traits or characteristics pass from parents to their offspring through genes. Some of these characteristics are dominant and some are recessive and they are passed through inheritance.
When living things reproduce, their genes get passed on which contain some traits from that parent. This process continues as the organism reproduces.
