    The passage discusses Mendel's laws of inheritance and genetics concepts such as dominance, segregation, independent assortment, and monohybrid crosses. It also provides multiple choice questions about these topics.

    The term used to describe the tendency of offspring to resemble their parents is heredity.

    Gregor Mendel is considered the 'Father of Genetics' for his experiments with pea plants that laid the foundation for classical genetics and demonstrated inheritance of traits from parents to offspring.
