Probably this is a stupid question or has been asked here before, but I wanted to understand how heredity works.
Let’s say someone develops diabetes or hypertension only get their baby is born, then in that case how does, if their child too develops it later in their life, is it linked to heredity?

Some people have a genetic predisposition to developing diabetes. That is, some of their genes make their body work in such a way that it becomes more likely for them to get diabetes. Their children also get these genes because of how making children works, so they are more likely to get diabetes at some point in their life too.
