Qualities or traits transferred through the genes from one generation to another.
The passing of genetic qualities through ancestry.
The passing on of characteristics to the next generation. These can be physical or mental characteristics or the tendency to develop particular illnesses. We inherit these characteristics from our parents through our genes and chromosomes. The chromosomes are made up of genes. We inherit half our chromosomes (and so half our genes) from our mother and half from our father.
the passing of characteristics from parent to offspring by means of genes in the chromosomes
The passing of a trait such as color of the eyes from parent to child. A person "inherits" these traits through the genes.
Characteristics and traits genetically derived from one's ancestors
The transmission of characteristics from parent to child. back
The relationship between successive generations. More specifically, the transmission of characteristics from parents to offspring via the chromosomes.
the historical distribution of biological characteristics through a group of related individuals via their DNA
Inborn influences on development, carried on the genes inherited from the parents. (6)
The sum of the qualities and potentialities genetically derived from one's ancestors, or the transmission of such qualities.
The transmission of traits encoded in GENES from parent to offspring.
Transmission of genetic traits across generations.
transmission of genetic material or characteristics from parent to offspring.
total of all the traits a person receives from his or her parents; the passing of characteristics from parents to their children.
the biological process whereby genetic factors are transmitted from one generation to the next
the total of inherited attributes
The genetic transmission of a particular quality of trait from one parent to their children.
The passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another.
the process by which family traits are passed from one generation to another.
The passing of genetic traits from parent to offspring.
The total of the physical characteristics, abilities, and potentialities genetically derived from one's ancestors.
Essentially, heredity is the transmission of specific characteristics (qualities and potentialities) from ancestor to descendent through the transmission of genes.
Resemblance among individuals related by descent; transmission of traits from parents to offspring.
The transfer of genetic information from parents to children.
Passed on through family lines. Refers to conditions that are passed on from generation to generation.
Transfer of genetic qualities or traits from parents to children
The familial phenomenon where biological traits are passed from parent to offspring.
The passing-down of traits from parent to child through genes, which are located in chromosomes. Such traits are said to be "inherited."
Transfer of genetic information from parent cells to future generations.
The transmission of characters from ancestors to their descendents. Originally understood in a broad sense which included the inheritance of acquired characteristics and habits of life; restricted in modern biology to mean the inheritance of genes (see Mendelian inheritance, neo-Darwinism). According to the hypothesis of formative causation, heredity includes both genetic inheritance and the inheritance of morphic fields by morphic resonance.
The passing down of traits from parents to their children. The process of heredity occurs through the genes.
The sum of the qualities and potentialities genetically derived from one's ancestors; the relation between successive generations, by which characteristics persist.
The process that brings about the similarity between parents and their offspring.
Inheritance of traits from ancestors; major cause of diabetes. See Chapter 1.
The natural and biological phenomena where biological traits are passed from one generation to the next, through the genes and DNA of parents being acquired by their offspring. Thus, biological family members, and even people in a particular ethnic group tend to have the same characteristics.
The transmission of genetic material from parents to offspring.
The transmission of characters from parent to offspring by information encoded in the parental germ cells. Genealogy.
Transfer of genetic information from parents to progeny.
The transmission of characteristics from parent to offspring
The transmission of characteristics of the progenitor
Transfer of genetic information from parent cells to progeny.
Transmission of characteristics by parents to their children (e.g. being prone to allergies).
all of the traits passed on to children by parents (plant or animal) or the process of transferring these traits.
The genetic transmission or passing of a particular quality or trait from parent to offspring.
The transmission of genetic or physical traits of parents to their offspring.
the physical characteristics passed on from parents to offspring.
science of passing traits from parents to young
The passing on of characteristics from parent to child.
Genetic transmission from parent to child.
The transmission of traits from parents to offspring.
The handing down of certain traits from parents to their offspring. The process of heredity occurs through the genes.
Transmission of traits from one generation to another.
Passing of traits through successive generations.
e movement of an organism’s characteristics (such as eye color, size, and the like) from oThne generation to a succeeding generation. The transmission is done by genes and chromosomes.
the genetic transmission of characteristics from parents to offspring
Transmission of traits from parents to offspring. The genetic constitution of an individual.
The transmission of traits from one generation to the next.
transmission of genetic characters from one generation to another.
Genetic inheritance of diseases from parents.
the passing of traits from parents to offspring
The process that causes the biological similarity between parents and their offspring.
the transmission of characteristics from one generation to the next
The process by which characteristics are passed from one generation to the next.
The passing of traits from one generation to the next.
Genetic transmission of traits from parent to offspring.
Heredity (the adjective is hereditary) is the transfer of characteristics from parent to offspring, either through their genes or through the social institution called inheritance (for example, a title of nobility is passed from individual to individual according to relevant customs and/or laws).
Heredity is a scientific journal concerned with heredity in a biological sense, i.e. genetics. It was founded by R.A. Fisher and C.
