Question
explain how the alleles were passed from parents to offspring.
Alleles are passed from parents to offspring through the process of sexual reproduction. During meiosis, parents' cells divide to form gametes (sperm and egg). Each gamete contains half of the parent's genetic material. When gametes fuse during fertilization, the offspring receives a combination of alleles from both parents. This process ensures genetic variation among offspring.

Alleles are passed from parents to offspring through sexual reproduction. During meiosis, parents' cells form gametes with half their genetic material. Gametes fuse during fertilization, giving the offspring a mix of alleles from both parents.
