Differences in DNA among individuals, and the passing of traits from parents to offspring.

The process where genetic information is passed from parents to their offspring, ensuring continuity of traits across generations.

The observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism, resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.

Traits that are controlled by multiple genes, each with a small additive effect, leading to a continuous range of phenotypes.

Chapter 11 of Biology class 12 focuses on inheritance and variation.
Inheritance describes the transfer of genetic information from parents to offspring.
Phenotype refers to the physical expression of genetic traits.
Polygenic inheritance involves traits governed by multiple genes.
Gene flow is NOT a mechanism of genetic variation.
