Correct answers:
- An offspring can receive different alleles or the same alleles from each parent.
- Traits are inherited when genes are passed from parents to offspring.
Brief explanation: offspring inherit one allele for each gene from each parent, so the two alleles can be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous). Traits are inherited via genes (DNA), not by directly passing parental proteins.
