The study of how traits are passed from parents to offspring

Real World Example

Imagine trying to bake a cake using a recipe passed down from your grandmother. Just as you follow specific instructions to replicate her delicious cake, organisms inherit specific genetic instructions from their parents to exhibit certain traits. In this analogy, the recipe represents the genetic code, the ingredients symbolize genes, and the final cake is the resulting traits in the offspring, demonstrating how both processes involve passing down detailed instructions to maintain consistency across generations.
