A characteristic passed from parents to their offspring is known as a trait, which can be influenced by genetic information encoded in DNA. Traits can be physical, such as eye color or height, or behavioral, like temperament. These characteristics are inherited through alleles, which are variations of genes that parents pass down during reproduction. Environmental factors can also play a role in shaping how these traits are expressed in offspring.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A clone is genetically identical to the parent. Offspring are 'children' that contain a mix of the father and the mothers DNA and so will be genetically different to both of their parents. Offspring from an asexually reproducing organism (i.e bacteria or rotifers) are sometimes referred to as clones as they contain identical DNA to the parent.

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.
Genes pass the traits of the parents to the offspring.

A lion is least likely to pass on learned behaviors to its offspring, as these behaviors are developed through experience and not genetic inheritance.
