genes carry the traits of the parents to be passed on to the offspring. they are also responsible for diversity, because genes also mutate. genes can express differentially depending on its environment. gene expression is regulated

What causes weakness in offspring of genetically similar parents?

It's all genetics, genetics are like light switches, some may be turned on which will be the dominant genes and others will be turned off. So the parent that has a weakness' genes will be the dominant genes so the offspring will therefore be weak or have the same/similar weaknesses.


How do inherited genes make a tiger cub closely resemble its parents?

Every living thing on this planet has genes. What genes mainly do is tell your body how to build itself. They are like a construction plan. The genes go on from generation to generation. The father's genes go together with the mother's genes and the result is something that is like the parents. Basically, the cub closely resembles its parents just like you resemble your parents.

What animal has the most genes?

The animal with the most genes is theorized to be the marbled lungfish, which has around 132,000 genes. This is significantly more than the average number of genes in most animals, which typically range from 20,000 to 40,000.


How many genes do animals have?

Different animals have different numbers of genes (and chromosomes). The exact number of genes that animals have has not been proven for many species, so estimates have been made. It is estimated that humans and mice have approximately 20,000 genes, roundworms have approximately 13,000 genes and yeast has around 6,000 genes. It should be noted that, similar to chromosome number, a larger number of genes does not necessarily mean the organism is more complex - for example rice has over 46,000 genes.
