Ti Xe, far, and y6vos, offspring), the name now given to the hypothesis that offspring sometimes inherit characters from a previous mate of their dam.
To account for the stripes on the subsequent foals, it is only necessary (now that the principles of cross-breeding are better understood) to assume that in the cross-bred chestnut mare there lay latent the characteristics of the Kattiawar or other Indian breeds, in which stripes commonly occur.
On the other hand, from the experiments of Mendel and others, we now know that crossbred animals and plants may present all the characters of one of their pure-bred parents, and we also know that the offspring of what are regarded as pure-bred parents sometimes revert to remote, it may be quite different, ancestors.

 heredity - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
Heredity (the adjective is hereditary) is the transfer of characteristics from parent to offspring, either through their genes or through the social institution called inheritance (for example, a title of nobility is passed from individual to individual according to relevant customs and/or laws).
In biology, heredity refers to the transference of biological characteristics from a parent organism to offspring, and is practically a homonym for genetics, as genes are now recognized as the carriers of biological information.
In humans, defining which characteristics of a final person are due to heredity and which are due to environmental influences is often a site of controversy (the nature versus nurture debate), especially regarding intelligence and race.

 Troll   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
According to a 1908 Cyclopedia: "Trolls are Dwarfs of Northern mythology, living in hills or mounds; they are represented as stumpy, misshapen, and humpbacked, inclined to thieving, and fond of carrying off children or substituting one of their own offspring for that of a human mother.
Occasionally they even steal a new-born baby leaving their own offspring, a changeling, in return (an ancient explanation for children born with Down's syndrome).
Young Swedish children frequently believe in trolls, and a way to teach children to brush their teeth is to tell them to get rid of the very small "tooth trolls" that otherwise will make holes in their teeth.

 Reproduction Did You Mean reproduction
Offspring inherit one allele for each trait from each parent, thereby ensuring that offspring have a combination of the parents' genes.
On the other hand, animals with many offspring may devote less resources to each individual offspring; for these types of animals it is common for a large number of offspring to die soon after birth, but normally enough individuals survive to maintain the population.
The variations found in offspring of sexual reproduction allow some individuals to be better suited for survival and provide a mechanism for selective adaptation to occur.

 Biological reproduction
Sexual reproduction is a biological process by which organisms create descendants that have a combination of genetic material contributed from two (usually) different members of the species.
Having two copies of every gene, only one of which is expressed, allows deleterious alleles to be masked, an advantage believed to have led to the evolutionary development of diploidy (Otto and Goldstein).
He argued that asexual reproduction, which produces little or no genetic variety in offspring, was like buying a large number of tickets that all have the same number, limiting the chance of "winning" - that is, surviving.

A son is a male offspring; a boy, man, or male animal in relation to his parents.
In many pre-industrial societies and some current countries with agriculture-based economies, a higher value was, and still is, assigned to sons rather than daughters, giving males higher social status, because males were physically stronger, on average, and could perform farming tasks more effectively.

In biology, offspring are the product of reproduction, a new organism produced by one or more parents.
Human offspring (descendants) are referred to as children (without reference to age, thus one can refer to a parent's "minor children" or "adult children"); male children are sons and female children are daughters.

 Soft_computing
Soft computing attempts to solve the class of computationally hard problems that do not seem to lend themselves well for classical algorithmic approaches, whereas humans are particularly adept at solving them.
Processing of linguistic information such as summarization and disambiguation, processing of pictorial information such as recognizing faces in a crowd or tumors in a mammogram, filtering information from textual and pictirial databases, analogical reasoning, generalization from examples, theorem proving, are some disciplines where an investment in soft computing is expected to yield rich dividends.
As the underlying principles of soft computing are being understood, it is becoming clear that the ideas associated with this discipline are indeed powerful enough to solve computationally hard problems that are traditionally handled by conventional algorithmic (non-soft) techniques.
