Question

lets see how well you know the principles of genetics! what percentage of genetic information is passed on from parents to their offspring? a) 100% from the mother b) 100% from the father c) 75% from the father, 25% from the mother d) 50% from each parent

Explanation:

Offspring inherit half of their genetic information from each parent. Gametes (sperm and egg) carry half the genetic material of somatic cells. When fertilization occurs, the genetic material from both parents combines, resulting in offspring with 50% genetic information from each parent.

Answer:

d) 50% from each parent
