Question

Name the process in which:

a) traits are transmitted from parents to offspring.

b) traits are passed from one generation to another generation.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Heredity, also called inheritance or biological inheritance, is the passing on of traits from parents to their offspring; either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction, the offspring cells or organisms acquire the genetic information of their parents.

Inheritance of Traits by Offspring Follows Predictable Rules. Genes come in different varieties, called alleles. ... However, an allele that is hidden, or not expressed by an organism, can still be passed on to that organism's offspring and expressed in a later generation.

Answer 2

Answer:

Heredity

Explanation: Heredity also known as inheritance of traits are transmitted from one generation to another.

Mode of transmission - sexual or asexual reproduction.

Sexual reproduction - In sexual reproduction the cross between two parents results in offspring with the characters/traits of both parents.

For each trait, two allele are present out of which one is dominant and other is recessive. The one which is able to express itself in the new generation is termed as dominant and other is recessive.

For eg: For height TT (tall) is dominant and tt (dwarf) reccesive . Offspring with genotype Tt will be tall.
