The new offspring will receive 23 chromosomes from the mother and 23 chromosomes from the father, for a total of 46 chromosomes. So in theory a new offspring will receive half the traits from their mother and half from their father. But some of their traits are dominant or recessive to if that father has all recessive genes and the mother has all dominant genes. There is a greater possibility that the new off spring would have more traits similar to their mother.

Where do the offspring of sexual reproduction get its genes from?

The mother and father


During sexual reproduction the new offspring gets some of its traits from its mother and some from its father?

During sexual reproduction, the offspring inherits half of its genetic material from the mother through the egg and half from the father through the sperm. This combination of genetic material determines the traits and characteristics of the offspring.


The offspring will have traits of both the mother and father Why?

Offspring inherit traits from both parents through the passing on of genes. Genes contain the instructions for specific traits, and they come from both parents during the process of reproduction. This combination of genetic information leads to the offspring having a mix of traits from both the mother and father.


What percentage of the DNA is passed through to the offspring in asexual reproduction?

An offspring receives half of its genetic information from its mother, and half from its father.


When does Variation produced by sexual reproduction starts?

Variation produced by sexual reproduction starts during meiosis, a process where genetic material is shuffled and combined from the mother and father to create unique offspring. This genetic diversity leads to variations in traits among individuals in a population.


Why do offspring that are produced through sexual reproduction show traits of each parent?

Because the one-half of the number of chromosomes are from the mother and father


During reproduction humans get chromosomes from their mother and what chromosomes from their father?

During reproduction, humans get half their chromosomes from the mother and half from the father. The mother provides one of the x sex chromosomes, and the father may contribute an x or y sex chromosome.


Why is a father's mitochondria not passed onto offspring?

During reproduction, a sperm enters through the membrane of an egg. When that happens, it essentially gives up all function except for delivery of the DNA. The egg contains all of the organelles, which includes the mitochondria. Therefore, only the mother's mitochondria is passed onto the offspring.
