Detailed explanation-1: -Children often look like some combination of their parents. This is because each parent gives the child some of themselves gene. A child is made from the information found in the cells of the parents. These characteristics are called genes.
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: -Heredity is the mechanism by which characteristics, resemblances, and differences are passed down from one generation to the next. Gene is the unit of heredity. Genetics is the study of heredity in biology.
