Heredity refers to the genetic heritage passed down by our biological parents. It's why we look like them! More specifically, it is the transmission of traits from one generation to the next. These traits can be physical, such as eye colour, blood type or a disease, or behavioural.
Inheritance can be defined as the process where one class acquires the properties (methods and fields) of another. With the use of inheritance the information is made manageable in a hierarchical order.
Answer:
Explanation:
1. HEREDITY : The sum of all biological processes by which particular characteristics are transmitted from parents to off-springs is known as heredity. The concept of heredity encompasses two seemingly paradoxical observations about organisms: the constancy of a species from generation to generation and the variation among individuals within a species.
2. INHERITANCE :
- It is something that is may be inherited; property passing at the owner's death to the heir or those entitled to succeed.
- It is the genetic characters transmitted from parents to offspring taken collectively.
- It is the act or fact of inheriting by succession, as if by succession or genetically.
