Answer 2

The correct answer is inheritance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Genetic characteristics are transferred from one generation to another.The mechanism of transfer of genetically determined characteristics from generation to generation is called inheritance.

Genetic characteristics are stored within the sex chromosome of both male(XY) and female(XX).During fertilization when the sperm cells fuses with ovum at that time some characteristics of both male and female gets incorporated into the diploid zygote which give rise to the new organism containing inherited genetic characteristics.
