Detailed explanation-1: -heredity, the sum of all biological processes by which particular characteristics are transmitted from parents to their offspring.
Detailed explanation-2: -Heredity is the mechanism by which characteristics, resemblances, and differences are passed down from one generation to the next. Gene is the unit of heredity. Genetics is the study of heredity in biology. Gregor Mendel proposed the laws of inheritance.
Detailed explanation-3: -Heredity refers to the passing of traits from parents to offspring either through asexual or sexual reproduction.
Detailed explanation-4: -Heredity is the transfer of characteristics from parents to offspring through reproduction, while genetics is the study of transmission of these characterisitcs from parents to their offsprings. A gene is the basic structural and functional unit of heredity.
