Yes your genes are inherited from your parents. This is becquse when the egg and sperm meet, and the egg is fertilized and the offspring (childs) cells are formed by the union. the child will have half the chromosomes of the father and half the chromosomes of the mother. The genes are in the chromosomes which are found in the nucleus of all the parents cells. Thus genes are passed along or inherited.
This is a very general question and can be answered many ways.
Genes are carried on chromosomes. You get one from your mom and one from your dad. Certain genes can be recessive or dominant. Freckles is an example of a dominant trait. If your mom has freckles and your dad doesn't you will get freckles. This means your dad may still give you the gene for freckles but it is recessive and the mothers' dominant freckle gene causes the freckles. Many things are produced by your genes, such as tongue rolling, widows peak, 6 fingers, hair on the middle finger, etc. If you Google these you will find that some are recessive and some are dominant.
More technical answers
The short answer is that, for a girl, both the mother and the father are the source of the genes which she inherits.
For a boy, his sex-related genes are carried by the Y chromosome which he inherits from his father and his mother is the source of the genes which are carried in his X chromosome. Either his mother or his father can be the source of his non-sex-related genes.
A longer answer
Many diseases are caused by changes, which are known as mutations, in some genes. The vast majority of mutations are not on the sex chromosomes (X and Y) - none are on the Y and <4% are on the X - so we can ignore Y-linked inheritance as a cause. *** (See Note below.)
Basically the gene change can come from the mother or the father but can also start spontaneously in an individual. All conditions have to start somewhere and on very rare occasions both parents can have mutations. If a child was to inherit gene changes from both of its parents it would generally have a lot of problems at an earlier age.
When an individual has more than one mutated gene it makes things a lot more complicated to explain.
Generally the cause is what is called dominant inheritance, meaning that it is not linked to the X or Y chromosomes which determine sex. This is where the mother or the father has a mutation on one of their non-sex-related genes. They also will have another copy of the same gene because one copy comes from their mother and one from the father. They pass on one copy of their gene to each child (either 'good' or 'bad') so with each child there is a 50:50 or 1 in 2 chance of the child inheriting the 'good' or the 'bad' copy.
For the sex-related genes, a mother will pass on one of her X chromosomes to her child and a man will pass on either his X (producing a daughter) or his Y (producing a son). If a woman has a mutation on one of her X chromosomes there is a 50:50 or 1in 2 chance she will pass it on to each child (boy or girl). If a man has a mutation on his X chromosome he will always pass on the condition to his daughter but never to his son.
As the daughter has another X chromosome this can compensate for the mutation, often meaning such a female child will display little if any signs of the condition. Such a female is called a carrier and, in turn, there is a 50:50 risk of her passing it on to any child.
*** Note: Any female mammal possesses two X sex chromosomes and a male mammal possesses an X and a Y.

They don't make you who you are, they make you howyou look, or rather they make you look the way you do.
Genes usually come in pairs because an organism can inherit a given gene from both parents. Six genes is not a lot, that would be a small portion of a genome.
You can inherit it from your parents, so it is automatically genetic. Color blindness is a recessive trait, so you only inherit it if both your parents carry the gene.
An Autosomal Characteristic... Examples would be your eye color. An autosome is a chromosome that is not a sex chromosome. So and autosomal characteristic is what you think of when you think about the genes that you inherit from your parents.
They inherit their colors from the genes they inherit from their parents.
genes that we get from our parents that are passed down to the offspring.

I think it's genes
Offspring must inherit traits from its parents because it parents contained genes that were dominant and survived. the genes passed from parent to offspring are important because they are the dominant genes of survival. they passed of survival genes to help their offspring live longer.
An individual's genes are inherited from their parents. It can never be determined what genes an individual will inherit from their parents, but every gene an individual has is inherited.
Cheetahs inherit the genes their parents gave to them. They will inherit their speed, color, eye color, and their sex.
No, your first cousin (whether twice removed or otherwise) is not in your direct line of descent and you can inherit nothing genetically from that person. You can inherit genes from your parents that your first cousin (whether twice removed or at some other removal) inherited from his parents.
Every organism in the world inherits traits from its parents. It's in the genes.
This means that you inherit certain genes from your parents; these genes can predispose you to a certain diseases. For example, you may be more vulnerable to certain bacteria, or the genes may directly related to some defect, such as sickle-cell anemia.This means that you inherit certain genes from your parents; these genes can predispose you to a certain diseases.

Being tall or short is not determine by exercises but by the genetical genes that we inherit from our parents.
