Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Heredity is a process in which organisms acquire characteristics from their parents. These characteristics are called traits.
Detailed explanation-2: -Heredity, also called inheritance or biological inheritance, is the passing on of traits from parents to their offspring; either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction, the offspring cells or organisms acquire the genetic information of their parents.
Detailed explanation-3: -Genes carry the information that determines your traits (say: trates), which are features or characteristics that are passed on to you-or inherited-from your parents. Each cell in the human body contains about 25, 000 to 35, 000 genes.
