Genetics as it applies to evolution, molecular biology, and
medical aspects. 5 posts • Page 1 of 1 Here is a question: All
hereditary characters in a cell are passed on from parent-cell
to daughter-cell through the process of A. mitosis B. meiosis C.
fertilization D. implantation E. gestation The meiosis,
implantation and gestation cannot describe the process. The
answer lie between mitosis and fertilization. Fertilization
occurs internally when the sperms meet the ovum as it passes
dowm the oviduct and they fuse together. The nucleus of the
sperm and the egg must be fused before the genetic materials of
the both parents can be effectively transfered to the developing
zygote becuase is only the the nucleus that contains all the
hereditary materials. With this in mind one could easily
conclude that fertilization is the best answer to the question.
If we look at mitosis in the other hand, it is known and
accepted widely that mitosis is a type of cell division that
result to two daugther cells each the same as t
