Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -We inherit a set of 23 chromosomes from our mothers and another set of 23 from our fathers. One of those pairs are the chromosomes that determine the biological sex of a child – girls have an XX pair and boys have an XY pair, with very rare exceptions in certain disorders.
