A heritable trait would be something that your mom and dad could pass down to you through the combining of their genes. This could be anything from your hair color, genetic disorders etc...

Answer:

An inherited trait is a characteristic that can be inherited from parents to children according to the genetic laws of Gregor Mendel. It is transmitted through the genes contained in the DNA.

These can be external characteristics, physiological characteristics, biochemical characteristics or diseases
