The transmission of a gene from parent to child. The pattern of inheritance is the manner in which a gene is transmitted. For example, the pattern of inheritance may be as an autosomal dominant trait that is transmitted from father or mother to son or daughter.

The manner in which genes and traits are passed from parents to their children. The four modes of Mendelian inheritance are autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked dominant and X-linked recessive. The term "mendelian" refers to the great Austrian biologist Gregor Mendel (1822-84) who formulated the laws forming the foundation of [..]

The pattern of transmission of a genetic trait encoded in the mitochondrial genome. The mitochondria are normal structures or organelles in cells. They are located outside the nucleus in the cell's cytoplasm. The mitochondria are responsible for energy production. They consist of two sets of membranes, a smooth continuous outer coat and an inn [..]

A type of hereditary pattern seen when there is more than one genetic factor and, sometimes, environmental influence. Many common traits and many common diseases are multifactorial. Skin color, for example, is multifactorially determined, as is intelligence. Type 2 diabetes is multifactorial because it is due to inherited (genetic) factors but may [..]

Inheritance of genes on the Y chromosome. Because normally only males have Y chromosomes, Y-linked genes can be transmitted only from father to son. Also known as holandric inheritance.

The concept of classes automatically containing the variables and methods defined in their supertypes. See also superclass, subclass.

Database structures that have a strict hierarchy (no multiple inheritance). Inheritance can initiate other objects irrespective of the class hierarchy, thus there is no strict hierarchy of objects.

The ability of hierarchically-arranged objects to acquire attributes and behaviors of objects above them without duplicating the code.

The process which allows equivalent records to inherit details from their basic counterpart in the patent family.

When a class is a subclass of another class, it gets all of its behavior (methods, properties, and other characteristics) from its superclass.

Inheritance is the process by which rights assigned to containers higher in the tree flow down to objects below the container. To ease administration requirements, NetWare takes advantage of the NDS tree design by allowing rights to be inherited downward in the structure.
