How do traits and characteristics from parents are transferred or passed to their offspring?

Answer 1

I've been doing this recently in science for my GCSE's what happens is there are dominant cells and non dominant cells

for example so a woman and a man are having a child. the man has ginger hair and the woman has blond. one of the will be dominant and the other not. I'm not exactly shore of the order but i do know ginger is more dominant than blond. ALLTERNATE ANSWER! first of all lets talk how it happen. When the two germ cell male sperm and female ova get fused they have chromosome or DNA in them which is responsible for transferring the character. Now during division of this zygote after fusion the phenomena of crossing over take place which mix all the character of both the parents and child get both of them. The question then arise which character will be expressed is depend upon the dominant and ressesive trait if the trait of father is dominant then it will be exprssed and vice versa

Answer 2

Traits and characteristics from parents are passed to their offspring through genes, which are segments of DNA that carry the instructions for specific traits. Offspring inherit a combination of genes from both parents, which determines their physical and behavioral characteristics. This process is known as heredity.
