Heredity

Real World Example

Imagine trying to bake a loaf of bread using a recipe your grandmother passed down to you. Just as you follow her instructions to replicate the same taste and texture, living organisms pass down genetic "recipes" to their offspring, ensuring that certain traits, like eye color or height, are preserved from generation to generation. In both cases, the instructions or "recipe" (genes) are transmitted from one generation to the next, providing the blueprint for recreating specific characteristics, whether it's the flavor of the bread or the traits of an organism.
