Which type of trait can usually pass to the next generation?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Inherited trait
The governing concept is heredity: genetic information is transmitted from parents to offspring through reproductive cells. A trait controlled by such inherited information can usually appear in the next generation, so option A is correct. Skills learned during life, a surgically or accidentally cut tail, and muscles enlarged through exercise affect the body of the individual but normally do not alter the hereditary information passed to offspring.
