Transmission of physical and other characteristics from one generation to another.
Its a phy-bio chemical process.
Characteristics such as blue eyes and red hair may be specific to the individuals involved :other features, such as erect posture and the possession of external ears,maybe typical of the type of organism

In the broad sense "hereditary" means something that is passed down to the next generation by virtue of family ties--
as in, "Prince Charles inherits the throne from Queen Elizabeth", which is an hereditary monarcy.
Blue eyes or brown may be genetically hereditary.
But your question is asking two things--the meaning of the word--which has more than one sense to it--and the genetics of it, which you can get from any high school textbook on biology.

What Is Hereditary

Witchcraft is an art and a skill. It can be practiced by anyone of any walk of life or religion. However - like many things in life - some have more natural talent for it than others. Some folks are seemingly born knowing how to drive. Some folks are really good at painting. Some folks can do math in their sleep. Anyone can be taught these skills - and for some they will work hard at it and only gain limited success. Others will soar and excell with very little training. However - most people (even ones with a great deal of natural talent) need at least SOME guidance and training. Those born into a family that has that culture/tradition will recognize the talent and teach the techniques to the person while younger - rather than shun that talent. And I suspect, like with most learning - if you are younger when you start, it comes a little more quickly than trying to teach it to adults ;)

Nobility is hereditary in a society based on nobility. Eg if a king gets a son, then he shall be King, when his father dies and stuff.
Other heriditary is genetic and therefore physical i think. Hmm i might be wrong about Nobility...does anyone know if Nobility is regarded as herditary.

Heredity (the adjective is hereditary) is the transfer of characteristics from parent to offspring, either through their genes or through the social institution called inheritance (for example, a title of nobility is passed from individual to individual according to relevant customs and/or laws).

The tendency of progenies to resemble their parents is called heredity. It is because of genes and it appears physical because of its expression. Genes, according to some scientists, control every trait and even behavior as well as reactions to certain incidents.
