What is one set of instructions for an inherited trait?

The gametes (sex cells) that combine to form a new organism in sexual reproduction each contain one set of the instructions for the genes of the new organism, that is, one set each for each trait.


Difference between adaptation and natural selection?

Adaptation are the physical or the behavioral traits that make an organism better fits to its environment while the Variation usually comes from random mutations. Mutations are iniatially cause by a new heritable traits.


A person who has PKU?

inherited the allele for the trait from both parents


Is evolution valid?

No. Evolution is not valid. Evolution suggests that one species changes into another species. Given all that we know about DNA, there is no possible way for any one species to change into another species even with mutations. Mutations make the individual organism weaker than the average organism of the species population and in many cases causes that organism to be sterile. Even if the individual organism does reproduce, the weak trait will be covered by the dominant allele thus rendering the mutation dormant. There would need to be a simultaneous catastrophic production of the mutation on a mass scale within the population for the mutation to even show up on a large scale in the population. Even if this magically occurred, there would not be a new species, only a new trait that shows up in the species. There is not a single documented case of any species changing into a new species.


What is the concept of unit characteristics?

A trait inherited in accordance with Mendel's law of segregation.

What does inherited trait mean?

An inherited trait is a feature or characteristic of an organism that has been passed on to it in its genes.


Why are only inherited traits not acquired one necessary for the process of natural selection?

Because the offspring of an organism with a desirable inherited trait is more likely to survive than the offspring of an organism with a desirable acquired trait (because the offspring of an organism with a desirable acquired trait will not have its parent's desirable trait).

What is the difference between a derived trait and an ancestral trait in terms of evolutionary biology?

In evolutionary biology, a derived trait is a new characteristic that has evolved in a species, while an ancestral trait is a trait that has been inherited from a common ancestor. Derived traits are unique to a particular species and can help distinguish it from others, while ancestral traits are shared among related species.


What is the difference between inherited and learned trait?

a inharited trait is what you are born with by your parents and learned trait is what you get on your own.


What type of traits is inherited if an organism receives recessive alleles?

The trait received is recessive.

What is the definition of an inherited trait?

An inherited trait is a characteristic or feature that is passed down from parents to offspring through their genes. These traits are determined by the genetic material inherited from one's ancestors and can influence physical appearance, behavior, and other characteristics of an organism.


What is a favorable characteristics?

Any inherited trait that increases the chances of survival of the organism. Otherwise known as an adaptation.
