Question

A woman is thinking about having children and wants to know which of her medical conditions can be inherited by her children. She has a scar on her right arm, freckles, blue eyes, diabetes, and she plays piano well. Which of her traits could not be genetically passed to her children and why?

Answer 1

her freckles, her blue eyes and her diabetes can be passed on.
scars are not genetic. 
her child can learn to play the piano like her or better than her but I am not sure if playing the piano is genetic...I dont think it is.

hope this helps :)

Answer 2

she would not pass on the scar as this is not genetic, however the freckles, eye colour and diabetes (if it is type 1 diabetes) may be inherited by her children. The fact that she plays the piano well does not mean the child would also be able to play the piano well. So, the traits that would not be able to be passed onto her children is the scar and the piano playing
