passed from parents through genes

Describing a disease or trait that you get from your parents through your genes, not from your lifestyle or the environment.

استعمال کا انداز: hereditary [disease/condition/trait]; [something] is hereditary
عام غلطی:
Learners often use *genetic* and *hereditary* as complete synonyms. *Genetic* is broader and can describe anything related to genes (for example, *genetic engineering*), while *hereditary* is usually used for diseases and traits passed down through generations. Learners also sometimes say *hereditic* or *heredital* instead of *hereditary*; only *hereditary* is correct in modern everyday English.
ہم معنی الفاظ
genetic (Very close in meaning; more general for anything related to genes, not only what is passed between family generations.) | inherited (Broader word; can refer to money or objects as well as traits, while 'hereditary' is mostly for traits and diseases.)
متضاد الفاظ
acquired (Describes conditions or traits that develop after birth due to environment or lifestyle rather than being passed through genes.) | environmental (Emphasizes causes outside the body and genes, such as lifestyle or surroundings.)

inherited as a title or position

Describing a title, job, or power that goes from parent to child in the same family instead of being chosen by vote or appointment.

استعمال کا انداز: hereditary [title/monarchy/peer]; [position/title] is hereditary
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use *hereditary* for any family business or habit, saying things like *a hereditary restaurant*. Use this sense only for formal positions, rights, or ranks (for example *hereditary monarchy*, *hereditary title*), not for ordinary jobs or hobbies passed in a family.
ہم معنی الفاظ
inherited (General word for something received from previous generations; does not itself suggest legal or formal status, while 'hereditary' often does.) | dynastic (Stresses rule or status kept within the same powerful family; slightly more historical or political in tone than 'hereditary'.)
متضاد الفاظ
elective (Titles or positions filled by voting, the opposite of those passed automatically within a family line.)
