Heredity
Heredity, also called inheritance or biological inheritance, is the passing on of traits from parents to their offspring; either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction, the offspring cells or organisms acquire the genetic information of their parents. Through heredity, variations between individuals can accumulate and cause species to evolve by natural selection. The study of heredity in biology is genetics.
Examples of use of heredity
1. The new research is published in the scientific journal Heredity.
2. And forget all this, excuse me, shit about metabolism and heredity.
3. Often referred to as the molecule of heredity, DNA is in fact more than that.
4. The arguments are simple and compelling, starting with the very notion of heredity.
5. But why was this idea so contagious, when so many other theories of heredity declined?
