Answer:

Traits are passed to offspring by the offspring parents.

Step-by-step explanation:

the genes that control a trait come in pairs, one from each parent. If a gene pair contains a dominant allele (a variation of genes that will produce phenotype,) than the offspring gains that trait from the dominant parent.

answer:
a trait is a characteristic, such as color or size, that is inherited by an offspring from its parents. The genes that control a trait come in pairs, one gene from each parent. If a gene pair contains a dominant allele, then the offspring will show this dominant trait.
