Question

mother gives birth to a baby but the baby has characters of both parents

Answer 1

A baby has characters of both parents as the genes from both parents are transferred to the child.This happens because of DNA. From the 22 pairs of chromosomes half are transferred from mother and half from father . These characteristics or traits are called inherited traits because they came from our parents. This is the reason behind a child having both characteristics.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The child has the characters of both the mother and father because of sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male gamete and female gamete in the process called fertilization, resulting in the formation of zygote.

As a result, the new organism is produced by the combination of the genetic material of the two and hence, the child has the mix characters of both the parents.
