Question

What is heredity and why is necessary in human being and also what is mean in life is why is important .?

Answer 1

Heredity is the genetic information passing for traits from parents to their offspring, either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. This is the process by which an offspring cell or organism acquires or becomes predisposed to the characteristics of its parent cell or organism. Through heredity, variations exhibited by individuals can accumulate and cause some species to evolve through the natural selection of specific phenotype traits. The study of heredity in biology is called genetics, which includes the field of epigenetics.

Answer 2

Heredity plays a very significant role in life of living organisms. It is very important as it determines the traits that are passed into next generations via parents. Successful and dominant traits are more frequently passed on to the next generation and over time it can change the species.

Organisms can evolve over time with changes in traits and adapt as per the survival needs of their environment.
