Introduction to Heredity

Question 113054 • WI-Grade 8 Life Science A

Which statements describe the inheritance of traits? Select three options.Traits can be inherited.No traits are inherited.Offspring inherit one allele for a gene from each parent.Offspring inherit two alleles for a gene from each parent.An offspring with two identical alleles for a trait is homozygous. An offspring with two different alleles for a trait is homozygous.

Answer
A
Traits can be inherited.
B
No traits are inherited.
C
Offspring inherit one allele for a gene from each parent.
D
Offspring inherit two alleles for a gene from each parent.
E
An offspring with two identical alleles for a trait is homozygous.
F
An offspring with two different alleles for a trait is homozygous.

Explanation

Traits can be passed from parents to offspring, so “Traits can be inherited” is correct. For a gene, an offspring typically receives one allele from each parent—not two alleles from each parent. An individual with two identical alleles is homozygous; two different alleles are called heterozygous, not homozygous.
