  1. theory of inheritance

    The theory of inheritance is a set of scientific principles that explains how traits or characteristics are passed on from parents to offspring through their genes. Originally developed by Gregor Mendel, this theory argues that each individual has two alleles for each trait, one from each parent, that combine to determine the individual's own traits. This may involve concepts such as dominant and recessive traits, genetic variation, and chromosomal inheritance.
