The fact that offspring may have characteristics somewhat different from those of their parents is primarily due to?
meiosis.
The passing on of characteristics from parents to offspring?
The passing on of characteristics from parents to offspring is known as heredity. Some characteristics include hair or eye color, dimples and freckles.
What happens if 2 different breeds have babies?
If two different species reproduce and have children, then these children will not be fertile. E.g, when a horse and donkey reproduce together, then the offspring is called a mule. The mule will always be infertile, as will the offspring produced by cross-breeding of species. If two different breeds reproduce, then the offspring should share the characteristics from both breeds.
What is the Name of offspring of parents different characteristics?
They are called children. Since there are almost no "Pure" blooded people left on the planet everyone is a child of mixed parents.
Did Darwin or Lamarck hypothesized that characteristics developed by parents are passed on to their offspring?
?Mendel, widely acknowledged as the first geneticist.the answer is either lamarck or darwinit's lamarck. he believed that characteristics developed by parents are passed on to their offspring.
How are dominant genes used?
In genetics, an offspring receives a gene from each parent for a particular trait (an allele). If the two alleles are for different characteristics, such as blue eyes and brown eyes, then usually one of the characteristics will show up in the offspring while the other is masked. The trait that shows up is the dominant gene.
What are characteristics called that an offspring inherits from its parents?
the answer is different parts of bodys
What does interbreed mean?
Interbreeding means to breed within a single family or strain, so as to produce particular characteristics in the offspring.
Can an ant be the offspring of a fly Explain your answer.?
An ant is an offspring of a fly? I do not think so. Because a fly's biological structure is different from an ant's. Unless the fly is mating with an ant. It would happen but this particular ant (offspring) would have a few characteristics of the fly(a father/mum to the offspring). Like, the ant (offspring) may have wings and eyes like a fly. +++ That's a very curious question. The answer is no. Ants and flies are both insects but of totally different genus and species so neither could nor would mate.

The triat that appears in the offspring is called?
the characteristics which are passed on by to a offspring by its parents
How can you use the concept of genetic inheritance to disprove Lamark's idea of the inheritance of acquired characteristics?
Lamarck's theory is disproved through many different examples of acquired characteristics. Anything that happens to a parent would be passed on to the offspring. Acoording to Lamarck, a parent that has tattoos would pass on the tattoos to the offspring. Loss of limb, injuries, cosmetic surgery or anything that changed in the parents would manifest in the offspring. This is not the case. Acquired characteristics are not passed on to offspring unless they change the gene sequence of the sex cells. Parents do not give physical characteristics to offspring, but do give the coding for those characteristics. The gene passes on the trait.
How are Reproduction and heredity are different?
Reproduction is the act of producing offspring, nothing more. Heredity is the transfer of genetic characteristics to those offspring. Those genetic characteristics pass down from generation to generation, extending far beyond the immediate act of reproduction.
