Things that are not inherited from your parents?

There are several traits, conditions, or characteristics that are not inherited from your parents:

- Acquired Traits: Acquired traits or characteristics are those that you develop during your lifetime as a result of your interactions with the environment. These traits are not determined by your genes and are not passed on to your offspring. For example, language, skills, scars, or knowledge.

- Infectious Diseases: Your parents cannot transmit infectious diseases to you through genetics. If you get infected by an infectious agent such as a virus or bacteria, it is not "inherited." Disease susceptibility can have a genetic component, but the disease itself is not inherited.

- Environmental or Lifestyle Choices: Your lifestyle, preferences, or choices are generally not inherited. Habits, dietary preferences, addiction tendencies, or your personal style are influenced by your upbringing, experiences, and decisions, not by your genetic makeup.

- Accidents and Injuries: Personal injuries, accidents, or trauma are not something that can be inherited. They occur due to external factors and environmental circumstances, not genetics.

- Cultural Practices and Customs: Cultural practices, beliefs, customs, or language of a particular society are not transmitted through genes. They are taught, learned, and acquired through socialization and interaction within a cultural group.

- Random Mutations: Certain mutations or genetic alterations can happen spontaneously during fertilization or cell division. These random mutations are not inherited from parents and can lead to unique traits.

- Epigenetic Changes: Epigenetic changes affect the way genes are expressed without altering the underlying DNA sequence. While some epigenetic modifications can be passed from parent to offspring, they are not inherited in the same way as genetic information encoded in DNA.
