Question

Traits are passed from parents to offspring. These traits are determined by

(1) chromosomes, located on genes, found in the nucleus
(2) genes, located on chromosomes, found in the nucleus
(3) chromosomes, located on genes, found in the ribosomes
(4) genes, located on chromosomes, found in the ribosomes

Answer 1

(2) genes, located on chromosomes, found in the nucleus

Step-by-step explanation:

Traits are determined by genes which are located on chromosomes. Chromosomes, on the other hand, are located in the nucleus.

Answer 2

The traits that are transferred from the parents to the offspring during reproduction are determined by genes, located on chromosomes, found in the nucleus.

Step-by-step explanation:

During reproduction, there is a fusion of;

male gamete

female gamete

This leads to the formation of offspring. There is a transfer of traits from the parents to the offspring.

Hence, the traits that are transferred from the parents to the offspring during reproduction are determined by genes, located on chromosomes, found in the nucleus.
