The study of genes and inheritance is called genetics. The genes have a pair of alleles, out of which one allele is recessive and the other is dominant.
The correct answer is C and E.
Inheritance
- The transfer of genes from one generation to another generation is called inheritance or heredity.
- In this process, a gene either from the father or from the mother is passed to the offspring.
The gene could be the same or different from each parent. It is not necessary to have the same genes passed from both parents.
For example - a mother can send an X chromosome and so does the father. But a mother can send an X chromosome and a father can send Y.
Hence, both genes can be the same or different.
Therefore we can say that the correct option is C and E that is
- An offspring can receive different alleles or the same alleles from each parent.
- Traits are inherited when genes are passed from parents to offspring.
