From where does an offspring receive information for a trait?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: From both parents
The governing concept is inheritance of traits through genes. In sexual reproduction, an offspring receives one set of genetic information from the mother and another from the father. These genes influence traits such as certain aspects of appearance and body function, although the environment can also affect how some traits are expressed. Food and water support growth but do not solely carry the inherited instructions. Thus option A is correct.
