Question
Chapter 24, Problem 1P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:The term heredity is to be explained.
Concept introduction:Heredity or inheritance is the transmission of traits from generation to generation.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1P
The transfer of characteristics, anatomical as well as biochemical from parents to the offspring is through heredity. The study of heredity is called genetics.
Explanation of Solution
All living organisms inherit the genetic information specifying their structure and function from their parents. In 1940, scientist made it clear that out of all the material in the nucleus of a cell, only a
Conclusion
The transmission of information that determines the external characteristics and the internal characteristics from parent to the offspring is known as heredity or inheritance. Hereditary traits are determined by genes.
