<span>When cells were first taken from Henrietta Lacks, she was suffering from cervix cancer. Henrietta Lacks was a woman whose cervix cancer cells were used as the source of the HeLa cell line nowadays used in medical research. During treatment for cervical cancer in 1951, the cells were taken without her knowledge. The cells were cultured by George Otto Gey who created the HeLa cell line.</span>

The correct answer is genes.
A trait refers to the feature like size or color, which is passed from the parents and is inherited by the offspring. The genes control traits and come in pairs, that is, one gene from each parent.
The transmission of hereditary traits possesses its molecular framework in the accurate DNA replication. This generates gene copies, which can be transmitted to the offspring from the parents. In plants and animals, the reproductive cells known as gametes are the mediators, which transfer genes from one generation to the next.
