Question

Where do living things get their traits?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Living things get their traits from their genes, which are inherited from their parents through a process known as reproduction. Genes contain the information that determines an organism's traits, such as physical characteristics, behavior, and other attributes. Mutations, or changes in the DNA sequence, can also contribute to variation in traits among individuals within a population. Additionally, environmental factors can influence how genes are expressed, leading to further variation in traits among individuals.
