hereditariedade

Also known as inheritance

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.

AI overview

Heredity is the process by which parents pass genetic traits to their offspring through reproduction, giving the children their biological characteristics. It matters because variations in these inherited traits can accumulate over time and drive the evolution of species through natural selection.

Em genética, hereditariedade é o conjunto de processos biológicos que asseguram que cada ser vivo receba e transmita informações genéticas através da reprodução. A informação genética é transmitida através dos genes, porções de informação contida no DNA dos indivíduos sob a forma de sequências de nucleótidos separadamente verificados. Existem dois tipos de hereditariedade: específica e individual. A hereditariedade específica é responsável pela transmissão de agentes genéticos que determinam a herança de características comuns a uma determinada espécie. A hereditariedade individual designa o conjunto de agentes genéticos que atuam sobre os traços e características próprias do indivíduo que o torna um ser diferente de todos os outros, assim fazendo com que os filhos tenham características de seus pais.
