How is genetic information inherited?

Genetic information:

The hereditary details that are transferred from parents to the offspring in the form of DNA or genes are called genetic information.

Transfer of genetic information:

1. Genetic information is transferred from the parents to the offspring during the process of reproduction.
2. Reproduction takes place when the male germ cells called sperms and female germ cells called ovum are fused to form a zygote.
3. The sperms contain genetic information from the father and the ovum contains genetic information from the mother.
4. During fertilization, this information gets blended and is transferred to the offspring.
