Passing from parents to offspring (10)

I believe the answer is:

hereditary

(Other definitions for hereditary that I've seen before include "passed from generation to generation" , "Family" , "Passed on by genetic factors" , "passed down through generations" , "Ancestral" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
