Most of the time when two mice that look alike have babies, they will look almost identical. This doesn't mean all the time though. If a white mouse mates with a gray mouse you'd get babies of gray babies of white, or even both. But all of them won't look the sane as the other.

For a codominant traiit do the offspring of identical parents always look like the parent why?
No, the offspring of identical parents would not always look like the parents because everyone has dominant and recessive traits, where the recessive traits do not show but is still in DNA. That said, recessive traits not shown in parents can be passed on as dominant traits to offspring - making offspring not always identical to its parents. (this is also called genetic variation)
What role do genes play traits from parents to offspring?
the genes play a big roll in the offspring. Genes are important because they make you look like your parents
What are the reasons that offspring does not look exactly like you?
Offspring does not look exactly like the parent because in humans, only sexual reproduction is possible, which involves 2 parents which exchange DNA to form offspring with different DNA and genetic information than both parents.
Why offspring don't look exactly like the parents?
Genetics requires 2 sets of DNA, so part of the "look" comes from each parent, and part of what an offspring looks like is environmental.
Why dont offspring of two parents look exactly like either parent?
Because an offspring gets 23 chromosomes from each parent through meiosis

How are plant offspring like their parents and why does this happen?
Plants are offspring like their parents because of their parents DNA this happens because of fertilization
What are the saber-toothed tigers offspring like?
Extinct. As are their parents.

the genes play a big roll in the offspring. Genes are important because they make you look like your parents
How do offspring get traits like those of their parents?
through chromosomes

Offspring does not look exactly like the parent because in humans, only sexual reproduction is possible, which involves 2 parents which exchange DNA to form offspring with different DNA and genetic information than both parents.
Why do animals produce identical offspring and humans dont?
Animals don't always produce identical offspring. Like cats for an example.
Why offspring don't look exactly like the parents?
Genetics requires 2 sets of DNA, so part of the "look" comes from each parent, and part of what an offspring looks like is environmental.
When genesis speaks of the genetic principle or parents producing offspring like themselves it uses the phrase?
after its kind
Why dont offspring of two parents look exactly like either parent?
Because an offspring gets 23 chromosomes from each parent through meiosis
What are responsible for directing development so that organisms resemble their parents?
Genetics - Offspring get genes from both their mother and father. These genes determine the phenotype (outer appearance) of the child, like eye color, skeletal shape, etc., and it is these things that make offspring look like their parents.
Can a hinny the offspring horse and a donkey reproduce?
No, like a mule a hinny is almost always sterile.
