Detailed Solution

Inherited traits are the physical or behavioral characteristics passed from parents to their offspring through genes. These traits come from DNA and cannot be changed by environment.

Inherited traits are determined by genes, which are small sections of DNA inside the nucleus of every cell. These traits are passed during reproduction and are part of genetic inheritance. They define how we look and sometimes how we behave. Unlike learned traits, inherited traits remain the same throughout life.
