the cell is the basic unit of life and cellular architecture contains large complexes of different classes of macromolecules with themselves or each other. most of such complexes are protein or lipid protein complexes.
however the component that really determines what goes where and what complexes with what....basically the blue print is the DNA.
in DNA there are four hetero-cyclic bases: adenine-a, guanine-g, thymine-t and cytosine-c.
these four bases in various sequences and combination, like a Morse Code, encode all the data required for the life processes in our body.
A definite sequence of ATGC gives rise to a GENE, which encodes the data required for protein molecule.
DNA is transcribed in to RNA and RNA is translated to protein by ribosomes.
DNA is packaged in to the cellular nucleus and into Chromosomes which are distributed when a male and female mates by a process called crossing over.
so basically DNA is responsible for all the hereditary characteristics and information in an individual

The study of heredity or how the characteristics of living thingds are transmitted form one generation to the next?
Genetics is the study of hereditary patterns in living things. It is the study of the genetic features of organisms and of inherited characteristics.
What is one non living thing with heredity?
If it is non living it has no heredity. To have heredity it has to pass it's characteristics on to another. It is an object. For instance, a spoon can not make another spoon.
Can a non living thing exhibit heredity?
yes it can

How do living and non-living thing interact with each other?
A living thing and a non living thing interact with one another simply by the non living thing is llike a bacteria and it gets into the living things bloodstream and that's how they interact.
