Which type of trait can be received by offspring from parents?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Inherited trait
Heredity is the transmission of genetic information from parents to offspring through reproductive cells. A trait whose information is encoded in DNA and passed through gametes is called an inherited trait. Therefore option A is correct. Learned behaviour, a scar, or a body part removed during life is generally acquired after birth and does not normally alter the genetic information of the gametes, so these are not inherited in the usual sense.
