• Mendel is widely considered a pioneer in the field of genetics. Gregor Mendel, known as the "father of modern genetics," was born in Austria. A monk, Mendel discovered the basic principles of heredity through experiments in his monastery's garden. 
• His experiments showed that the inheritance of certain traits in pea plants follows particular patterns, subsequently becoming the foundation of modern genetics and leading to the study of heredity.

Heredity can be defined as the passing of traits from parents to their offspring, either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. This is the process by which an offspring cell or organism acquires or becomes predisposed to the characteristics of its parent cell or organism. Through heredity, variations exhibited by individuals can accumulate and cause some species to evolve through the natural selection of specific phenotype traits. The study of heredity in biology is called genetics, which includes the field of epigenetics. Study of heredity deals with resemblances and differences between the parents and offsprings. Thus, option A is correct and other options are wrong.

Cats produces cats. This statement indicates the inheritance of characters from the parents to offspring. Genes are the fundamental unit which carries the characters from one generation to the other. This tendency of inheritance of genotypic and phenotypic character is known as heredity.

During sexual reproduction, traits from parents are transmitted to offspring. These are combinations of male and female parent. This is called heredity.

Transfer of genetic makeup from one generation to another is called heredity. Genes are found on Chormation fibre i.e DNA. All living being have tendency to transfer DNA during sexual or asexual reproductions.

A sperm's function is to swim upwards the vaginal canal and deposit genetic material (DNA) within the egg. The midbody contains the vast stores of mitochondria needed for such an exhausting process, the tail allows for swimming, the head contains the genetic material and the acrosome, which uses enzymes to break through the egg's zona pellucida.

Eugenics is a social philosophy advocating the improvement of human genetic traits through the promotion of higher reproduction of people with desired traits and reduced reproduction of people with less-desired or undesired traits.
