Describe how genetic information is passed on from parent to a child

1 answer:

3 0

Answer:

Chromosomes are passed from parents to offspring via sperm and eggs. The specific kind of chromosome that contains a gene determines how that gene is inherited. ... Consequently, each person has two copies (alleles) of every gene carried on an autosome: one inherited from their father and one from their mother.

Like chromosomes, genes also come in pairs. Each of your parents has two copies of each of their genes, and each parent passes along just one copy to make up the genes you have. Genes that are passed on to you determine many of your traits, such as your hair color and skin color
