The first one is through a dominant gene, which means that if you inherit a dominant gene, you will develop a certain trait. For example, the eye color. If both of your parents have brown eyes, you are more likely to have brown eyes as well, because it is a dominant trait.
The second method is through a recessive gene. In order for a child to have a trait, it’s required that both of the parents have that recessive gene. For example, if you have green eyes, it means that both of your parents must carry a gene for green eyes, even though their eye color is not green.
The last method consists of X-linked traits, which are found only on the X chromosome. These are passed on to the child through the mother.
Here are a few physical traits that you may have inherited from your parents:
