Heredity


Heredity means the transfer of characteristics of organism from the ancestor to offspring. The previous generation of any animals or plants is called the ancestor of this animals or plants.

In more biological term, heredity is gene transfer to generation to generation. Genetics is nothing but the study of heredity in biology.

Heredity can cause through both asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction.

Let us think about the brown color hair of an individual is gained form the previous generation is a trait of human being. This trait is completely depends on the gene structure. A complete set of gene in genome is called genotype.

We sometime make complexity between genotype and phenotype. Phenotype is the complete set of observable trait of organism that exactly depends on the environmental exposure of organism and any structural change in organism is not the gene function rather it an environmental function.

DNA elaborately says Di-Oxyribonucleic acid is a molecule through which genetical information transfer from generation to generation.
