Heredity and its Process

This set of MCQs is about Heredity which is normally defined as the method by which an offspring acquires predisposed to the characteristics of its parent cell. It is the process of transferring genetic traits from parents to their offspring and is initiated by the recombination and segregation of genes during cell devision and fertilization.
