Question
_____________ is the transfer of characters from parents to offspring.
Variation
Inheritance
Mutation
Crossing over
Variation
Inheritance
Mutation
Crossing over
Hint:
In layman's language, it is the passing on of traits from parents to offspring.
The correct answer is: Inheritance
The transmission of characters from one generation to the next is called inheritance. This can be achieved in both asexual and sexually reproducing organisms. DNA, also called genetic material, is responsible for transmitting traits from parents to offspring.
