Explanation:
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: -Inherited traits are carried in your genes. Parents pass on these genes to their children, who then pass them onto their future children, and so on. This genetic information is carried in the form of DNA, which stands for ‘deoxyribonucleic acid’.
Detailed explanation-3: -While most traits are inherited through transmission of DNA, the traits we study are inherited through proteins.
