Detailed explanation-1: -Parents pass on traits or characteristics, such as eye colour and blood type, to their children through their genes. Some health conditions and diseases can be passed on genetically too. Sometimes, one characteristic has many different forms. For example, blood type can be A, B, AB or O.
Detailed explanation-2: -These characteristics are called learned characteristics, or sometimes acquired characteristics. Scars, tattoos, clothing, hairstyles, and pierced ears are acquired characteristics because they are not inherited from parents. Any characteristic that a person gains from experience is also learned, rather than inherited.
Detailed explanation-3: -Offspring are not similar to their parents in any way. Correct answer: They have similar but not identical features.
