In what ratio does a child inherit their father's and mother's genetic traits?
How does the process of inheritance work exactly?
Inheritance is determined by the pairing of genes from both parents during fertilization. Each parent contributes one set of 23 chromosomes, resulting in a total of 46 chromosomes in the child. These chromosomes contain genes which determine inherited traits such as eye color, height, and hair color.
