Answer:

Heredity

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage of these instructions from one generation to the next generation is known as heredity. In heredity, the parent DNA is replicated and copied over to the offspring DNA. This happens during the replication process. In fact, to be more precise, the process takes place during chromosomal division. This is when half of the parent DNA strand is passed over to the offspring cells. Thus, the offspring carries half the instructions from the parents.
