Only half of each parent's alleles are passed to their children.
This means that parent 1 who is Aa at one gene locus will only pass A or a on to each offspring.
Parent 2 may be AA, aa or Aa and will also only pass one allele on to each offspring.
Traits are passed down from parent to child through genes, which are segments of DNA. Each parent contributes one set of genes to their offspring, determining the genetic characteristics that the child inherits. This process is known as heredity.
It is not possible to not inherit any genes from a parent because genes are passed down from both parents to their offspring. Each parent contributes genetic material that combines to form the unique genetic makeup of their child.
On average, a person inherits about 25% of their genes from each grandparent. This is because each parent passes about half of their genes to their child, which are then passed down to the next generation.
In sexual reproduction, each parent contributes half of their genetic material to the offspring. This results in a unique combination of genes in the offspring rather than an exact copy of either parent's genes.
The probability of a specific gene being passed on from a parent to their offspring is 50% for each parent. This is because each parent contributes one copy of each gene to their offspring. Therefore, the likelihood of inheriting a specific gene from one of many genes on a chromosome is dependent on the genetic makeup of the parents.

Each child that is NOT an identical twin receives a completely differant combination of genes from each parent. It is 100% random what traits will be passed on to each child, and most likely the genes given to two sisters were differant.
A child inherits two sets of chromosomes which contain the genes. One member of each set comes from each parent.
The set of instructions for making proteins coded in DNA and passed from parent to offspring each generation are called genes. Genes are the basic units of heredity and determine the traits and characteristics of an organism.
The set of instructions for each characteristic passed from parent to offspring is called "genes", which are made up of complex molecules of DNA.
In sexual reproduction, each parent contributes half of their genetic material to the offspring. This results in a unique combination of genes in the offspring rather than an exact copy of either parent's genes.
The child will probably be positive, but they can be negative. Each parent has two genes for pos/neg blood type. The parent will have positive blood type if at least one of their genes is positive, but they could both also have negative genes to pass on to the child.
Each parent has a set of genes that is passed on to his/her offspring (children) and which genes become apparent in the child is all dependent on whichever genes are dominant over the recessive genes. For example, one parent may have blue eyes (dominant) and another has green eyes (recessive); it is more likely that the child will have blue eyes than green eyes*. *This example was merely for explanation; I don't know if blue eyes are dominant over green eyes or not.

If both parents had heterozygous blood-type genes, then the child could inherit the recessive O type from each parent. Suppose the mother had the genes for A and O, and the father had the genes for B and O. They would then have blood-types A and B respectively. Depending on which parts were passed to the child, any blood type would be possible.
