How is genetics related to heredity?

Answer 1

Reproduction is the process of making new individuals of a species. In the case of humans, it is sex followed by fertilization, pregnancy, and finally birth. When the man's sperm meets the woman's egg they join together to form the baby. The sperm and the egg each carry half of the genetic material used to make the new baby, and this genetic material is inherited from the parents.

So basically when a baby is born it has half of its genetic material inherited from its mother and half from its father.
