Detailed explanation-1: -Tigers may either have wide stripes or narrow stripes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Inherited traits are coded in our DNA and hence can be passed on to the next generation. Example: eye colour, height, complexion, hair colour etc.

Detailed explanation-4: -Inherited traits are the characteristics that we receive from our parents. Inherited traits are controlled by specific genes and are passed on from one generation to another. Skin color, eye color, and form of hair are three examples of inherited traits in human beings.

Detailed explanation-5: -For example, if both of your parents have green eyes, you might inherit the trait for green eyes from them.
