Question

Characters that are transmitted from parents to offspring during reproduction show

Options

•  only similarities with parents

• only variations with parents

• both similarities and variations with parents

• neither similarities nor variations

Answer 1

both similarities and variations with parents

During reproduction, a cell creates copies of DNA using chemical reactions. These copies are not identical due to variations which result during the process of copying of DNA. So, the characters transmitted from parents to offspring show similarity as well as variations with parents.
