Card 1Heredity basics

What is heredity?

Answer

Heredity is the passing of traits from parents to offspring. It explains why children are similar to their parents but not exactly the same.

Card 2वंशानुगतता की मूल बातें

आनुवंशिकता क्या है?

Answer

वंशानुक्रम माता-पिता से संतानों में लक्षणों का गुजरना है। यह बताता है कि बच्चे अपने माता-पिता के समान क्यों होते हैं लेकिन बिल्कुल समान क्यों नहीं होते हैं।

Card 3Variation and inheritance

Why are offspring similar but not identical to their parents?

Answer

Offspring get genetic material from both parents, so they share the same basic body design. Small differences appear because variation is created during reproduction.

Card 4विविधता और विरासत

संतान अपने माता-पिता के समान क्यों होती है लेकिन समान क्यों नहीं होती है?

Answer

संतान को माता-पिता दोनों से आनुवंशिक सामग्री मिलती है, इसलिए वे एक ही बुनियादी शारीरिक संरचना साझा करते हैं। छोटे-मोटे अंतर इसलिए दिखाई देते हैं क्योंकि प्रजनन के दौरान भिन्नता उत्पन्न होती है।

Card 5Variation and reproduction

Why does sexual reproduction create more variation than asexual reproduction?

Answer

Sexual reproduction combines genetic material from two parents, so more combinations are possible. Asexual reproduction produces offspring from one parent, so differences are usually very small and co

Card 6विविधता और प्रजनन

अलैंगिक प्रजनन की तुलना में लैंगिक प्रजनन अधिक भिन्नता क्यों पैदा करता है?

Answer

लैंगिक प्रजनन में दो माता-पिता से आनुवंशिक सामग्री का संयोजन होता है, इसलिए अधिक संयोजन संभव हैं। अलैंगिक प्रजनन में एक माता-पिता से संतान उत्पन्न होती है, इसलिए अंतर आमतौर पर बहुत छोटे होते हैं और DN

Card 7Asexual reproduction

What happens in asexual reproduction when a bacterium divides repeatedly?

Answer

The new bacteria are very similar to each other. Only minor differences appear because of small inaccuracies in DNA copying.

Card 8अलैंगिक प्रजनन

अलैंगिक प्रजनन में क्या होता है जब एक जीवाणु बार-बार विभाजित होता है?

Answer

नए बैक्टीरिया एक दूसरे से बहुत मिलते-जुलते हैं। DNA की प्रतिलिपि में छोटी-छोटी गलतियों के कारण केवल मामूली अंतर दिखाई देते हैं।
