The traits are passed to the offsprings in the form of genetic material, which is DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) in most of the life forms.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

An effector, on the other hand, occurs internally of the body and when the effector molecule binds to the receptors of the organ that it stimulates or suppresses, a  cascade signaling pathway in the cells occurs and the cells/organs responds requisitely.
