hereditarytrait
Hereditary trait refers to any characteristic that is transmitted from parents to offspring through genetic material. These traits are encoded in DNA and reside at specific loci on chromosomes. During reproduction, alleles are inherited from both parents and may determine the observable trait (phenotype) or influence susceptibility to certain conditions. By contrast, acquired traits arise from environmental factors and are not encoded in the germline.
Hereditary traits follow various genetic architectures. Some are Mendelian, determined by a single gene with dominant,
Examples include eye color, blood type, and inherited diseases such as cystic fibrosis and Huntington's disease.
