A
Cell Division
B
Dominance
C
Heredity
D
Recessiveness
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This passing of characters from one generation to another occurs during reproduction. Gene is the basic structural and functional unit of heredity which determines different traits of an organism. The study of transmission of these characters from parent to offspring is called genetics.

Detailed explanation-2: -Heredity can be defined as the passing of phenotypic traits from parents to their offspring, either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. This is the process by which an offspring cell or organism acquires or becomes predisposed to the characteristics of its parent cell or organism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Heredity, also called inheritance or biological inheritance, is the passing on of traits from parents to their offspring; either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction, the offspring cells or organisms acquire the genetic information of their parents.

Detailed explanation-4: -Heredity – the passing of traits from parents to offspring. Genetics – the study of heredity. DNA – cellular material with all the information about what traits a living thing may have.
