How to use "Heritable" in context?
A heritable attribute is an attribute that can be passed down to offspring from their parents. This can be true for characteristics such as hair color, height, and IQ.

For instance, genes that affect our propensity to get diabetes are much more likely to be passed down than genes that affect our propensity to be bald.
