DNA controls what you look like and you get this from your parents. Heredity is a trait that you get from your parents that is in your DNA

ex. My dad and myself have brown eyes. That would be both in my DNA and Heredity

ex. My mom had blue eyes. That is just in my DNA because I do not have blue eyes

DNA is the genetic information used to make proteins, and it contains the hereditary traits of organisms. Incase you didn’t know , the two types of DNA are mitochondrial DNA, which you can only get from your mother, and nuclear DNA, which is a combination of both your ancestors DNA.
