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.


Is the hippo able to pass on variation to offspring?

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.


What did the development of heredity allow organisms to store and pass on to their offspring?

The development of heredity allowed organisms to store and pass on genetic information to their offspring. This information determines traits such as appearance, behavior, and physiological characteristics that are inherited from parents to offspring.


What do parents pass on to their offsprings?

Parents pass on genetic material to their offspring, including traits such as eye color, hair color, and height. They also pass on behaviors, values, and beliefs through socialization and modeling. Additionally, parents can pass on opportunities for education, resources, and support which can impact their offspring's future success.

Why don't fathers pass on mitochondrial DNA to their offspring?

Fathers do not pass on mitochondrial DNA to their offspring because mitochondria, which contain the DNA, are only inherited from the mother's egg cell. Sperm cells do not contribute mitochondria to the offspring during fertilization.

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.
