Animals and plants inherit their characteristics

from their parents and look very much like them. 

In science, to inherit is to receive characteristics, or 

traits from an organism's parents.

Animals and plants will pass these traits on to their 

own offspring.

Plants
The prickly pear cactus has sharp spines. Look at its 

paddle-shaped pads. These are flattened stems that act 

like leaves. They have a waxy coating to help the plant 

hold in moisture. Notice that the pads have two kinds 

of sharp spines. Some spines are long. Other spines 

are short but break off easily. The cactus looks

the way it does because it has inherited these traits.

Characteristic that helps the prickly pear cactus 

survive in a dry environment: it has a waxy coating to 

help the plant hold moisture

We do not mistake a zebra from any other animals because even though they look like horses but they have white and black stripes on their skins.

Peacock flounder adalah ikan sebelah.

Kedua mata dari ikan ada di satu sisinya, sisi lainnya tanpa mata.
Ikan ini juga tubuhnya gepeng, selain itu dia bisa berubah warna sesuai dg warna sekitarnya sehingga mengejutkan bagi pemangsanya dan dengan demikian terhindar dari pemangsa. 
Sifat2 dan kemampuan ikan tersebut adalah sifat yg diturunkan.

Manusia juga menurunkan sifat2nya pada anaknya.
Misalnya warna rambut, kulit, tinggi atau pendek seseorang. Namun kadang2 anak bisa lebih tinggi dari orang tuanya ataupun sebaliknya. Jadi yg anak dan orang tua bisa jadi tidak begitu mirip, inilah yg diamari oleh Gregor Mendel dannpada akhirnya muncullah cabang ilmu yg disebut Hededity.
