How are traits passed from parents to offspring?
Traits are passed from parents to offspring through the transmission of genes. Genes are sections of DNA that code for specific traits, and offspring inherit a combination of genes from both parents. This genetic information is then expressed in the offspring’s physical characteristics and traits.
What is inherited genes?
"Inherited Genes" is simply the genes you inherite from your parents. Those genes make your sex, color of your hair, spaceing between your eyes, and everything about you is made up of genes passed down by your parents.
What role do genes play traits from parents to offspring?
Genes provide the instructions for building proteins that determine the traits offspring inherit from their parents. Offspring inherit a combination of genes from both parents, which contribute to their physical characteristics, such as eye color, height, and hair texture. Genes are passed down through generations, allowing for the transmission of hereditary traits.
The phenotype of an animal typically does not depend on?
The phenotype of an animal typically does not depend on the animal's genotype.
How do genes relate to inheritance?
Genes, which are units of heredity, are passed down from parents to offspring through the process of inheritance. They contain the instructions for the development and functioning of all living organisms, determining traits such as eye color, height, and susceptibility to diseases. The combination of genes inherited from both parents influences an individual's characteristics and traits.
Where does an animal get its genes?
Animals can get their traits from their parents or from their environment.
Why does sexual reproduction produce offspring that are not exactly like either of there parents?
The genes passed on by each parent causes a 'mixing' in a way they are expressed. You and your parents do not have exactly the same genes. Your DNA is so unique that it can identify you from every other human.
Do most of an animal's gene come from its parents?
all of the genes in an animal come from their parents. for example, humans start as a zygoat. zygoats are made when an egg and sperm fuse. the egg has 23 chromosomes and the sperm has the other 23. when put together, you have all 46 chromosomes in a human. and all 46 came from he parents.
How are dieseases inherited?
This means that you inherit certain genes from your parents; these genes can predispose you to a certain diseases. For example, you may be more vulnerable to certain bacteria, or the genes may directly related to some defect, such as sickle-cell anemia.This means that you inherit certain genes from your parents; these genes can predispose you to a certain diseases.

What is hybrid inheritance?
I think it means that an animal has inherited genes of more than one animal type, like it's parents are a cross
What are minor genetics between parents and offspring?
The offspring of parents have half of the parents genes (as you already know) but the mixture will produce a totally unique individual. Some of the genes will be exactly the same between all of them such as blood type or eye color. Sometimes a mutation may have occurred which will produce a completely different expression of the genes.
What is the amount of genes in an animal cell?
Genes and chromosome numbers vary from animal to animal
What are the factors that control traits A-Genes B-Purebreds C-Reccessives D-Parents?
They are cultivated varieties of an animal species. When lineage of a purebred animal is recorded, that animal is said to be pedigreed.
Name a characteristic that is determined by genes alone?
One example of a characteristic that is determined by genes is hair color.
If identical brothers impregnated identical sisters would the babies be identical cousins?
No, because not all genes are selected from the parents. Identical brothers/sisters have exactly the same genes...the egg split just after genes were selected. They will sure look similar, though.
What continuous variation?
Continuous Variations are the characteristics of a person or animal. These characteristics are based on the genes given from your parents. Such as height, if your parents are both tall it is certain that the tall gene will be passed down to you from both parents.
What makes up genes?
ur genes come from ur parents' genes
