Yes, any animal that undergoes sexual repoduction can pass on variation to their offspring, provided that variation is contained in the gametes, or germinative cells.

For two organisms to be members of the same species what must be true of the offspring?

The offspring must be able to reproduce and produce fertile offspring of their own. This means that they are able to interbreed and pass on their genes to the next generation.


If a horse is homozygous what does that mean?

A horse is homozygous when it carries two identical copies of a specific gene, one inherited from each parent. This means that the horse will pass on that specific gene to all its offspring, as there is no variation in the gene.


What do organisims pass on their offspring?

Organisms pass down their DNA, their genetic code, down to their offspring during reproduction. This is what defines the offspring make up and determines what genetic conditions will be passed on to them.


A pink snapdragon has two genes that determine its color there is a white gene W and a red gene R the parent snapdragons only pass along one gene for color to an offspring What color will offspring be?

If the parent snapdragons pass along a white gene (W) to the offspring, then the offspring will be white. If the parent snapdragons pass along a red gene (R) to the offspring, then the offspring will be red.


Why do persons having a mutation pass this condition on to their offspring?

Individuals with a mutation can pass it on to their offspring because the mutation is present in their germline cells (sperm or eggs), which are used to create offspring. This means that the genetic mutation is incorporated into the DNA of the offspring, resulting in them inheriting the mutation.

How does variation work to help cause evolution?

You have to have variation in order to be able to have more successful variations, which succeed in evolutionary terms, and less successful variations which fail. If there were no variation in a species, there would be no natural selection.


Does the graph of an inverse variation pass through the origin?

Inverse variation does not pass through the origin, however direct variation always passes through the origin.


What is required for natural selection to take place?

Natural selection requires variation in traits within a population, heredity to pass on these traits to offspring, and differential reproductive success based on these traits, leading to some individuals having more offspring with the advantageous traits.


Do humans only pass sex-linked traits to their offspring?

Humans only pass traits, sex-linked or not, to their offspring. There is no way to pass a trait to anyone except offspring unless through gene implant.


Does a witch power pass from parent to offspring?

yes it can pass


When organisms reproduce they pass on what?

They pass on some of their genes to their offspring.

How does the constant of variation affects the appearance of the graph of a direct variation function?

The formula direct variation is xk=y, where k is the constant of variation.Direct variation functions always pass through the origin. Direct variation functions are linear functions (goes in a straight line), except that they pass through the origin. Regular linear functions don't pass through the origin. That is the only difference.


Suppose a variation makes an individual member of a species better adapted to its environment how might that variation affect the individuals reproduction?

If a variation makes an individual better adapted to its environment, it might increase the individual's chances of survival and reproduction. This individual may have more opportunities to find a mate, produce offspring, and pass on its beneficial traits to the next generation. Overall, the variation can lead to an increase in the frequency of the advantageous trait within the population over time.


What French anatomist felt that individual members of a species were able to adapt to their environment and then pass those adaptations along to their offspring?
