The innate tendency of offspring to resemble their parents is called________?
Correct answer: A. heridity
- A. heridity
- B. heridisk
- C. varaition
- D. none
Explanation
Heredity is the tendency of offspring to resemble their parents because genetic information is transmitted from one generation to the next. Variation means differences among offspring, so students may choose it if they confuse resemblance with inherited differences; option a is misspelled as “heridity” but clearly intends heredity.

About Mendel's Laws of Inheritance
Mendelian inheritance explains how alleles separate into gametes and assort during reproduction, producing predictable genotype and phenotype ratios. Questions cover dominance, recessiveness, homozygous and heterozygous conditions, the laws of segregation and independent assortment, monohybrid and dihybrid crosses, test crosses and the limits caused by linked genes.
