What is Heredity?

• Segment of DNA found on a chromosome than contains the information to code for one specific protein that determines a specific trait

• Passing of Physical characteristics from parents to offspring

• Specific Characteristic that an organism can pass to its offspring

• When one parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells
