For a codominant traiit do the offspring of identical parents always look like the parent why?

No, the offspring of identical parents would not always look like the parents because everyone has dominant and recessive traits, where the recessive traits do not show but is still in DNA. That said, recessive traits not shown in parents can be passed on as dominant traits to offspring - making offspring not always identical to its parents. (this is also called genetic variation)


What role do genes play traits from parents to offspring?

the genes play a big roll in the offspring. Genes are important because they make you look like your parents


What traits are passed to offspring if both parents are California quails?

they both look like California quails from genetic cells.


Why isnt blended inheritance a good explanation of heredity?

Cause the offspring wouln't like know which trait comes the parent. In other words the traits are mixed up. :) <3 hope i helped u !!! ---SMILEY <3 :)


How are plant offspring like their parents and why does this happen?

Plants are offspring like their parents because of their parents DNA this happens because of fertilization


What is the definition of hereditary?

Heredity: Heredity is the passing of traits to offspring (from its parent or ancestors). This is the process by which an offspring cell or organism acquires or becomes predisposed to the characteristics of its parent cell or organism. Through heredity, variations exhibited by individuals can accumulate and cause some species to evolve. Some common (human) hereditary traits are eye and hair color and ethnicity. The study of heredity in biology is called genetics, which includes the field of epigenetics.


What is special about the offspring of sexual reproduction?

They may not share the same properties as their parents. Plants that reproduce asexually have the same traits (like an immunity to a disease) however if a plant reproduced sexually it may not have the same traits.


What are inherited trait?

An inherited trait is a charateristic passed from parents to offspring.


Do the offspring look exactly like their parents reproduction?

No. The offspring receive a combination of both parents DNA (roughly half from each parent although the mom contributes more due to mitochondrial DNA). During recombination the DNA of both parents is combined form a unique individual with traits from both the mother and father.


What is the goal of hibridization?

Hybridization is a process that can refer to many different things. In general though, it's goal is to take two things, like animals, and combine them together/breed offspring with desirable traits like an animal with favorable traits from both parents.


Offspring resemble their parents because of?

Simply because each offspring contains 50% of the genetic material from each parent. From the moment of conception - every time the cells divide - each one contains a copy of half the DNA from each parent.


What causes the great variety of possible gene combinations from the offspring of two parents?

The principle is called "recombinant DNA." During the process of fertilization the egg and sperm provide one copy DNA genome from each parent. These DNA strands breakup into individual genes and then recombine randomly. This causes the traits of the offspring to reflect the traits of the parents randomly based on the probabilities of gene combinations.
