um, DNA is like, GTACTACTATAC or whatever, right? and each letter matches up with a letter across from it (it's been a while since i learned this) in the double helix. So, that contains People-Building-Plans. Those are pretty much the instructions when you're being made (in a tummy). Each trait is pretty specific though. What i mean is that, each is decided separately, and even then, it's up to chance a lot of the time.

Let's say your mom's got blonde hair. Your dad's got brown hair, though. Blonde hair is recessive. Brown hair is dominant. Your dad's hair-genes would either look like "Bb" or "BB" because a dominant gene means that even one (out of two) makes it. Your mom's hair-genes are "bb" because recessive means she can only be blonde if she has two out of two genes.

If your dad's genes are Bb, you've got a 25% chance of being blonde. If he's got "BB" genes, you will be brown haired. If you mean traits as in like, how neat or nice or mean you are, thats debatable. I'd say it's equal parts genes and environment, but im no scientist.

It depends if the daughter cells were produced as a result of fertilization or cloned. If fertilized the genetic material isn't same but if cloned the genetic material is 100% same.
