Explain how hereditary diseases are passed from one generation to another.

Answered by admin @



A hereditary disease is a genetic disease. It passes down to next generations because when male and female make gametes/sex cells - they pass on information to gametes, and then when fertilization occurs, gamete cells fuse together and their genetic material from each parent fuses together too and the zygote is formed. That's why the baby has similar genetic material to their parents. I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.
