choli [55]

Some differences among individuals in a population are due to genetics and are heritable.

  • Despite without being aware of the existence of genes, Darwin could see that many characteristics are heritable—passed from parents to children.
  • Mutations are structural alterations to the DNA molecules that make up genes. A significant source of genetic variation within a population is gene mutation.
  • Variants that are inherited (or hereditary) are present in almost all of a person's cells throughout their lifetime and are passed from parent to kid.
  • Due to their presence in the parent's egg or sperm cells, which are also known as germ cells, these variations are also known as germline variants.
