Deism (from Latin: deus = God) refers to the eighteenth-century movement in modern Christianity which taught that reasonârather than revelationâshould form the basis of religion.
Inheritance in man conforms to the same genetic principles, which govern inheritance in other animals and in plants. About 200 traits are transmitted from generation to generation in humans.These are called hereditary traits. These include dominant as well as recessive traits.Many human traits are transmitted in a simple Mendelian manner, while many others follow a non-Mendelian pattern shown when there is co-dominance, polygenes and sex-linked genes.hese are called hereditary traits.

The inheritance of biological characteristics is determined by individual units known as genes. They are passed from parent to offspring. In cases in which two or more alleles of the gene for a single trait exist, some forms of the gene may be dominant or recessive. In most sexually reproducing organisms, each adult has two copies of each gene- one from each parent. These are segregated from each other when gametes are formed.
