Characteristics passed down from parents to child. (eg. Blue eyes)
Rather than traits learned from their environment (eg. learning to cycle)
So definition= 'Heredity is the passing of traits from parents to offspring'
Caused by genes passed on from one generation to the next.
Your heredity is all the body characteristics you inherit from your parents, whether it is your mothers black hair or your father's knobbly knees.
A hereditary characteristic is a characteristic that you get from your parents.
what is the field that studies the means of improveing hereditary characteristics
Means capable of being inherited. If your mother or father has red hair, that is heritable- you too could have red hair.
Something that your parent/family does, which you also do without thinking. such as "always thinking you are right" - some families all do this.

heritable change occurs in a line of descent
A heritable character or genetic character
Yes, because a trait can be hidden for one generation and return in the next. For example, if a girl had red hair, but neither of her parents had red hair, she could have inherited from her grandparents. Therefore, it can be inherited from someone other than your parents.

crossing over during meosis and or due to mutation.
heritable change occurs in a line of descent
If the mutation causes a characteristic that is carried as a dominate trait, then it can spread through a population. Also, if the characteristic that is brought about by the mutation is beneficial, the organism will be better suited to its environment than others. If the organism passes this trait to its offspring, then it is understood that they should survive in a greater ratio than those without the trait and the trait becomes common.
A heritable character or genetic character
Natural selection favors a trait by increasing its frequency in a population. Natural selection is differential reproductive success. If one variant of a trait enables an organism to have and raise more offspring successfully than other variants in a particualr environment, then it will become more common in the population.
Certain behavioral traits can. For instance, one can inherit a trait such as risk aversion which may not be expressed in the immediate environment as a behavior, or this trait may be consciously modified into less risky behavior. Still, the trait has been show to be heritable and the evidence supports genetic transmission.
Heritable variation is the variation in characteristics caused by genetic factors.
Yes, because a trait can be hidden for one generation and return in the next. For example, if a girl had red hair, but neither of her parents had red hair, she could have inherited from her grandparents. Therefore, it can be inherited from someone other than your parents.
Quality traits, such as fat marbling and milk production are usually the most heritable. In general quality traits are more heritable than growth traits (such as weight), which are more heritable than reproductive traits (such as conception rate).
yes, only heritable changes in the DNA come under the perview of mutation.
