How are physical traits passed on to offspring?
Short Answer: Genetics Practical Answer: 1/2 of the genes (or chromosomes) of each parent (in the egg from the mother and the sperm of the father) combine giving traits from both parents to the child.
Does your inherit characteristics from your mother only?
No, you inherit characteristics from both your mother and your father. Genes from both parents contribute to your physical and behavioral traits.
What is wrong about the thought that sexual reproduction produces offspring that have a blending of the parental traits?
Parental traits don't blend. Many traits a controlled by more than one gene and result in one phenotype from either the mother or the father but not usually a blend of both. For example, if black hair is dominant on a male dog and white hair is recessive on a female dog and they both mate, the offspring will likely have black hair. A blend would be known as incomplete dominance.
Does your bloodline comes from your father?
The genetic material for blood type and other traits comes from both parents, not just the father. We inherit genes from both our mother and father, which collectively determine our blood type and other characteristics.
What does it mean to be a hybrid for a trait that is incompletely dominant?
To be hybrid for a trait that is incomplete dominance means that both the mother and the father passed on a gene that was dominant. For example, If you mother has white hair and your father has black hair and both traits are dominant (WB) you will express a gray phenotype.

Short Answer: Genetics Practical Answer: 1/2 of the genes (or chromosomes) of each parent (in the egg from the mother and the sperm of the father) combine giving traits from both parents to the child.
Do the offspring look exactly like their parents reproduction?
No. The offspring receive a combination of both parents DNA (roughly half from each parent although the mom contributes more due to mitochondrial DNA). During recombination the DNA of both parents is combined form a unique individual with traits from both the mother and father.
Why do you get some features from your father and some from your mother?
Because they had sex and so you get traits from both of them
Does your inherit characteristics from your mother only?
No, you inherit characteristics from both your mother and your father. Genes from both parents contribute to your physical and behavioral traits.

Which charatictic can a human offspring inherit?
A human offspring can inherit characteristics such as eye color, hair texture, height, and blood type from their parents through the passing down of genes. These traits are determined by the combination of genes from both the mother and father.
Can a child have o positive blood when mother and father are both A positive?
Yes. They can. If the mother and father's phenotype is AO. The O is recessive. If both parents give the O gene to their offspring then they will have an O baby. It can occur in 1 out 4 babies.
What does Mendel's hypothesis of inheritance state?
i dont know all about it but he says that the mother and the father both pass genes to their offspring even though they may not show for example their fathers blue eyes but they show their mothers green eyes. the blue eyes is a recessive gene they will pass to their offspring. so it may skipa generation and come back because the offspring carry that gene. no gene is lost until it has passed 2 generations without a mother or father having it of the offspring have it.
How are traits passed from parents to offspring?
Traits are passed from parents to offspring through the transmission of genes. Genes are sections of DNA that code for specific traits, and offspring inherit a combination of genes from both parents. This genetic information is then expressed in the offspring’s physical characteristics and traits.
What the mother is 0- and the father 0 can they have a bloodtype offspring?
If both parents are type O, they will always produce type O offspring.
How do parents pass on traits to their offspring?
Parents pass on traits to their offspring through the transmission of genetic information. This information is contained in the parents' DNA, which is passed on to their offspring through the process of reproduction. Offspring inherit a combination of genetic material from both parents, which determines their physical characteristics and other traits.
Who is Uranus' father?
In Greek Mythology, Uranus is known to only be the offspring of Gaia and the father of her children. One could look at this as Gaia being both father and mother to Uranus, or Uranus not having a paternal parent.
