Introduction to Heredity

Question 1 • FL-2002070-M/J Comprehensive Science 2

Which statements describe how traits are inherited? Check all that apply.An offspring always receives different alleles from each parent.An offspring always receives the same alleles from each parent.An offspring can receive different alleles or the same alleles from each parent.Traits are inherited when proteins are passed from parents to offspring.Traits are inherited when genes are passed from parents to offspring.

Answer
A
An offspring always receives different alleles from each parent.
B
An offspring always receives the same alleles from each parent.
C
An offspring can receive different alleles or the same alleles from each parent.
D
Traits are inherited when proteins are passed from parents to offspring.
E
Traits are inherited when genes are passed from parents to offspring.

Explanation

An offspring inherits genes from its parents, and those genes carry information that influences traits. For a particular gene, the alleles inherited from the parents may be the same or different, so C is correct. Proteins help produce traits, but traits are inherited through genes rather than by passing proteins from parents to offspring, so E is correct and D is not.
