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: -But when people talk about genes being passed on, they generally don’t mean genes being passed on from cell to cell during cell division. Instead, they usually mean genes being passed on from parents to children. This is known as “heredity” or “inherited genes."
