Genetics is the study of heredity, or how certain features pass from parents to their offspring, or young. Every kind of plant and animal produces young of its own species, or type. The young resemble their parents. But offspring are not usually exactly the same as their parents. For example, their hair color or height may be different. Genetics explains how offspring get some of their parents’ features, or traits, but not others.
