Not really. The term means what genes are found in a species. What genes are found in humans or dogs or salmon.
Of course not. It takes a male and a female to make a baby. Outward appearances don't change the genes.
False. Individuals of species that reproduce sexually tend to have more variation because each offspring inherits a unique combination of genes from both parents, leading to genetic diversity within the population.
The process that determines which genes survive is called natural selection. In this process, individuals with beneficial traits that help them survive and reproduce are more likely to pass on their genes to the next generation. Over time, this leads to a higher frequency of those beneficial genes in the population.
One way to spread your genes is through reproduction, by passing your genetic material onto your offspring. This can occur through sexual reproduction, where genetic material is combined with a partner to create offspring. Another way to spread your genes is through kin selection, where individuals help relatives who share their genes to survive and reproduce.
The allele would not be passed on to further generations, as the organism cannot reproduce. There would be a smaller population of that organism who's genetic code does not contain the allele for that particular trait.

No, heredity is the passing of traits or characteristics from parents to offspring, and it requires the presence of genes. Non-living things do not have genes or the ability to reproduce, so they cannot exhibit heredity.
No, non-living things do not have the ability to reproduce. Reproduction is a biological process that involves the creation of new individuals from existing ones, and non-living things lack the necessary biological mechanisms for reproduction.

If you are talking about biological adaptation, an individual can't change its genes to fit the environment better. If two individuals have different genes, one may be more fitted to survive and reproduce. Its genes will be passed on, and the other's won't, so the next generation will be more likely to have the advantageous gene. As this process continues, the population has more and more individuals like this. So, it's the species which adapts, not the individual.
The main advantage of asexual reproduction is that you don't need to find a mate. If sexual species cannot find a mate, they cannot reproduce and their genes die with them. Asexual species can reproduce whenever they have food, however. No mate is required.
They pass on some of their genes to their offspring.
To reproduce and pass on its genes to the next generation.
