How are the genotype and phenotype of parents related to the genotype and phenotypes of offsprings?
The parents can pass on only the alleles of their genotypes to their offspring. Therefore, the offspring genotypes and phenotypes are dependent solely upon the alleles inherited from the parents.

Why do chromosomes determine an individuals phenotype?
Chromosomes are made of DNA and protein. DNA is the genetic material that determines the genotype and phenotype of a person. The phenotype is the genes that are expressed and observable. See the related link for further information.
How are adaptation and mutation related?
If an organism adapts to something it means that that organism has been changed. And a change is a mutation, so they are very related. If an organism needs to adapt it has to change itself ( to mutate ).
