I gave my students this multiple choice question: Which of these is the best definition of heredity?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- the transfer of learning from one generation to the next
- the transfer of visible features from one generation to the next
- the passage of dominant genes from one generation to the next
- the passage of genetic information from one generation to the next

Could you tell me which one is correct?
