This is described as the biochemical structures inside each cell which carry traits from one generation to the next.
Greg Wendel was the person who developed the cell theory in recessive and dominant traits. He studied generation to generation on plants and saw which traits would show up in the next generation he discovered how traits showed up from parents to offspring.
genes that produce behaviors and traits that lead to survival are passed on to the next generation
Simple inherited traits are passed down because each parent contains genes which are given to their offspring. The offspring inherits or receives these traits. The offspring then passes down those traits to their offspring. Each time there is a new generation, the original trait becomes less evident. The recessive traits decrease by a certain percent every time a new set of genes are added.
next-next generation sequencing
Variation naturally occurs in populations as new traits arise from random mutations. However, through natural selection only those traits that are beneficial to the organism are passed on to the next generation. Any harmful mutations are naturally weeded out.
