Answer Details
The statement "always transmitted by one parent" is not true about heredity. In heredity, the traits are carried by genes, which are contained in the ovum and sperm of both parents. Traits are transmitted from both parents to their offspring. While certain traits may be more dominant or expressed more strongly in one parent, both parents contribute to the genetic makeup of their offspring. Therefore, the statement that heredity is always transmitted by one parent is incorrect.
