Question

Which statement best supports why many offspring look similar to their parents? 1.)Offspring inherit traits from one only parent 2.)Offspring inherit traits from both parents 3.)Parents choose which traits they want to pass to their offspring 4.)Traits randomly appear based on the environment where the organism lives

Answer 1

Answer:

2.)Offspring inherit traits from both parents

why does this happen?

In short, this is because of heredity; the passing of traits of parents to offspring

during reproduction each parent contributed a form of elementen to the resulting offspring. One copy is inherited from their mother (via the egg) and the other from their father (via the sperm)

When the sperm fertilises the egg, two copies of each chromosome are present (and therefore two copies of each gene), and so an embryo forms.
