HERIDITY AND ITS VARIATION
HERIDITY AND ITS VARIATION HERIDITY: Heredity refers to the passing of traits or characteristics from parents to offspring through the transmission of genetic information.This occures through the transmission of DNA, which contains the genetic instructions for the development and function of an organism. Here are some key aspects of heredity: 1.Genes:The basic units of heredity, genes are segements of DNA carry information for specific traits. 2.Inheritance Patterns: Traits can be inherited in different ways, such as dominant, recessive, or co-dominant. 3.Genotype and phenotype: refers to an individual's genetic makeup ,while phenotype refers to the physical expression of those genes. 4. Mendel's Laws: Gregor Mendel's laws of inheritance described how traits are passed down from generation to generations. 5. Chromosomes: Genetic information is duplicated and passed from parents to off springs. 6. DNA replication...
