We are talking about about a personal trait that has been transmitted genetically from father to son. That's why we use the word inherited rather than received.
You can receive a message, a parcel or a gift but you inherit characteristics from your parents

Hi Al,
Do you mean "since" or "sense"? The phrase "this makes since" doesn't make any sense ;-)!
Thanks,
Torsten

i Penelope,
For future information, 'alot' is not correct. this term is always two words: 'a lot'.
