Bacteria are too large to cross the placenta, however viruses can.
This means bacterial infections are not transmitted, but viral infections can be.
Examples of viral infections include rubella, HIV and chicken pox.
DNA related diseases like Huntington's and Tay-Sachs can be inherited by the offspring of a sufferer.
What else can I help you with?
How genes are passed from parents to offspring is the study of what?
It is genetics.
What will determine the genotype of an organism?
The alleles that are passed from parents to offspring
How are hereditary diseases are passed from one generation to another?
Hereditary diseases are passed from one generation to another through genetic mutations carried in the DNA of the parent that are passed on to their offspring. These mutations can affect the functioning of specific genes, leading to the development of a hereditary disease in the offspring. This process occurs during fertilization when genetic material is combined from both parents.
What are traits that parents pass on to their offspring call?
Traits that parents pass on to their offspring are called hereditary traits. These traits are inherited through genes, which are passed down from parents to their children. Hereditary traits can include physical characteristics, such as eye color or hair type, as well as certain predispositions to diseases or conditions.
Can mutations be passed from parents to offspring?
Yes, mutations can be passed from parents to offspring. Mutations are changes in the DNA sequence that can be inherited if they occur in the germ cells (sperm or egg cells) of the parent and are passed on to the next generation.
How are inherited diseases passed from parents to their offspring?
through the placenta; through blood
What are the diseases that comes from the parents to their off springs and its cure?
Diseases that are passed from the parents to their offspring are called Hereditary diseases. Whether or not there is a cure or treatment would depend on what disease it is.
What are genetic traits?
Genetic traits are variations of features passed on to offspring from there parents.
The triat that appears in the offspring is called?
the characteristics which are passed on by to a offspring by its parents
What are passed from parents to offspring?
genetic characteristics
Characteristics offspring inherit from there parents?
Offspring inherit a combination of genetic traits from their parents, including physical characteristics like eye color, hair color, and height. They may also inherit certain genetic predispositions to medical conditions or diseases. Additionally, offspring can inherit behavioral traits and personality characteristics from their parents.
When traits have been passed from the parents to the offspring?
Heredity
How genes are passed from parents to offspring is the study of what?
It is genetics.
Is the blueprint for life passed from parents to offspring?
The blueprint for life is passed from parent to offspring through sexual reproduction and the transfer of genes. The genes ensure that the offspring develop traits that closely resemble those of the parents.
Why is it important for an offspring to inherit the traits from its parents?
Offspring must inherit traits from its parents because it parents contained genes that were dominant and survived. the genes passed from parent to offspring are important because they are the dominant genes of survival. they passed of survival genes to help their offspring live longer.
What will determine the genotype of an organism?
The alleles that are passed from parents to offspring
How are traits passed from parents to their offspring?
Traits are passed by DNA.
