What are alleles passed from parent to child on a sex chromosomes?
They are sex-linked genes.
What are heritable traits?
The word inherited means that it is passed down through the genes from parent to child.
Alleles passed from parent to child on a sex chromosome is called what?
These alleles are called sex-linked alleles or traits.
How are genetic traits pass on from parents to offspring?
Traits are passed through the child spending a long amount of time around the parent and observing their actions. For example if the parent licked their lips alot then it is likely that the child will lick their lips alot too as the child has subconsciously obserned this action throughout the time spent with the parent.
How do the traits are not manifested in the parents show up in offspring?
Certain traits can remain dormant and still be passed on to offspring. If a child has traits that neither parent possesses, chances are that it could have come from farther down the line.

What is the very important concept of heredity did not yet understand?
We understand the basics, at least; certain traits are passed on from parent to child. Certain "genes" (tiny pieces of genetic information, encoded in a chemical form) from the parent will influence the development of the child. The child receives half of its genetic information from each parent. The fine details are pretty complicated, because while some inheritable traits are passed along by a single gene, most traits appear to be encoded in combinations of genes. Until we have a better understanding of how the combinations work together, we're going to be more-or-less guessing about what each gene does.
Can mutations be passed from parent to offspring How?
Yes mutations can be passed from parent to offspring. If a parent has a certain gene that is mutated then there is a possibility that the child may inherit it.
