Heredity

Real World Example

Imagine trying to bake your grandmother's famous cookie recipe, but you can't find her handwritten instructions. This is similar to how traits are passed from parent to offspring, as you rely on what you remember and the ingredients you have, much like how offspring inherit specific traits through genetic material from their parents. Just as your cookies might taste similar to your grandmother's because you followed her recipe, an offspring resembles its parents because it receives a genetic 'recipe' that dictates its characteristics.
