Detailed explanation-1: -Examples of Inherited Characteristics in Humans Some characteristics that are passed down from parent to child in humans include: eye color. hair color and texture. skin tone.
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. The variations that emerge as a result of reproduction may be inherited which causes an increase in the survival rate of entities.
Detailed explanation-3: -Genetic information is passed from generation to generation through inherited units of chemical information (in most cases, genes). Organisms produce other similar organisms through sexual reproduction, which allows the line of genetic material to be maintained and generations to be linked.
Detailed explanation-4: -DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms.
