What is gene inheriting?

A gene inheriting is the process of transferring genes from one person to another. It's often a
consenting procedure between two people, or it can be an involuntary transfer such as a blood
transfusion. Gene inheriting can also be used to describe the way in which a plant or animal passes
down traits from generation to generation, such as DNA moving through cells and expressing in
offspring. Invisible for years and unknown for decades, now scientists have finally figured out how a
gene inheriting works! Let's explore the ins and outs of this fascinating phenomenon!

A gene inheriting is when one person's genes are transferred into another person by consent or by
force. The process of gene inheriting is often voluntary and consensual, but it may also occur
involuntarily through a blood transfusion or by transplant. A person inherits genes from one's parents,
and they both pass those down to their kids through the same way. The sperm and egg that combine
in fertilization determine everything about a baby's appearance, as well as any other attributes that
are passed on genetically.

Imagine you have a child with your partner. Say this child inherits your partner's brown eyes, which
are considered "dominant" genes. There is nothing you can do to change or influence which of your
partner's genes are inherited. If a child inherits one of your partner's recessive genes -- say green eyes
-- that means that he or she also must inherit the dominant gene for brown eyes. A pretty simple
concept, right? Well, the way genes pass is not quite as cut-and-dry as it sounds. For example, a child
might inherit the gene for brown eyes from both parents. This is called "recessive inheritance."

The fact that we are able to live and thrive on this earth has a lot to do with our DNA and how it
influences our every move and decision.
