Study Notes
Heredity and Evolution
- Heredity is the passing of genetic information from one generation to the next.
- Genetic information is passed through genes, which are segments of DNA.
- Heritable traits are characteristics that can be passed from parents to offspring. These include physical, physiological, behavioral traits and disease susceptibility.
