Detailed explanation-1: -Inherited traits are coded in our DNA and hence can be passed on to the next generation. Example: eye colour, height, complexion, hair colour etc. The variations that emerge as a result of reproduction may be inherited which causes an increase in the survival rate of entities.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are five basic modes of inheritance for single-gene diseases: autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked dominant, X-linked recessive, and mitochondrial.
Detailed explanation-3: -Organisms inherit genetic material from their parents in the form of homologous chromosomes, containing a unique combination of DNA sequences that code for genes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Chromosomes are called ‘carriers’ of heredity because they contain genes that determine all the characteristics of an organism.
