Mendel’s experiments involved the study of traits in pea plants and led to the formulation of key principles of inheritance, such as the laws of segregation and independent assortment. His work laid the foundation for our understanding of genetic inheritance. ...

Each child inherits two versions of each trait, one from the father and one from the mother. These two versions, known as alleles, may be similar or different. The combination of alleles influences the expression of traits in the child, ...

The equal contribution of genetic material from both the father and the mother means that each trait in the child can be influenced by both paternal and maternal DNA. This contributes to the diversity of traits observed in individuals and ...

A child does not look exactly like its parents due to the presence of variations introduced through genetic recombination and other processes during reproduction. The diversity observed among human populations arises from the combination of inherited traits and the subtle ...

“Similarities and differences” in the context of inheritance refer to the combination of basic features inherited from parents while also showcasing variations. Although a child inherits fundamental human traits from its parents, there are unique combinations and subtle differences ...
