Genetic information which has to be carried on to next generation is packed in the nucleus of the cell. It contains the genetic material of the cell in the form of chromosomes. A chromosome is an organized structure of DNA and protein found in cells. Chromosome is a single piece of coiled DNA containing many genes. Chromosomes are considered to be the vehicles of heredity as they carry genes. Genes are small points on the chromosome responsible for one character of an individual.
Genes on chromosomes help in the inheritance or transfer of characteristics from the parents to the offspring.
DNA is the nucleic acid which stores and transfers genetic information necessary for the development of new cells or organisms. DNA gives rise to RNA by the process of transcription.
RNA, ribonucleic acid codes for amino acids. Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis where information on the mRNA molecule is translated into proteins.
Proteins are responsible for the traits. Traits are expressed in the form of proteins. Traits exhibited can be represented by genotype and phenotype of an individual.
Genotype is the internal genetic constitution of a particular trait. Phenotype is the physical character that is expressed in the form of a trait.
Traits are expressed in the form of genotypes and phenotypes.

Question
How do traits get expressed from parents to offsprings? Explain with an example.
- Traits are the genetic composition of an organism which are contained in DNA.
- Genetic inheritance takes place through the transfer of genes by the DNA of a parent.
- The gene composition that is found in both parent and are transferred to the offspring through the DNA of a parent.
- Parents have got different have got different hereditary property which are the composite of the DNA . During the transfer parents have contribute their genes.
- There is one parent who will have the weak and the other will have the stronger.
- The stronger will be dominant and the offspring will have more resemblance to the stronger than the weker.
