Main Concepts
A trait is a characteristic of an organism.
Siblings from the same parents share many of the same traits.
The genetic information that plants and animals inherit determines many of their traits.
Different organisms vary in how they look and function because they have inherited different mixtures of genetic information from their parents.
Some examples of traits in plants and animals are size, color, texture, shape, and patterns.
Plants and animals inherit genetic information from their parents.
There can be a variety of traits among a group of similar organisms.
An organism that is born from a parent is called an offspring.
Offspring share many of the same traits with their parents.
There are patterns of similarities and differences in traits shared between offspring, their parents, and siblings.
An organism that reproduces another organism is called a parent.
Reproduction occurs when an organism produces another organism.
