Question
Many organisms reproduce using a process called sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction combines the genetic information of two individuals to produce new organisms. The two individuals are the parents. The new organisms are their offspring.
This family of dogs includes two parents and their four offspring.
Select all of the true statements about the offspring.
the genes affect their traits
they inherited their genes from their parents
some offsprings have different combinations of traits than either of their parents

All of the statements you provided about the offspring are true:
1. **The genes affect their traits** - This is true because genes carry the instructions for the physical and behavioral traits of the offspring.
2. **They inherited their genes from their parents** - This is true as offspring receive half of their genetic information from each parent during sexual reproduction.
3. **Some offspring have different combinations of traits than either of their parents** - This is also true. During the process of genetic recombination, the offspring can exhibit a unique combination of traits that may not be present in the parents.
