You inherit 50% of your DNA from each parent, determining physical traits (eye/hair color, height, skin tone), blood type, and health risks.

From my Dad, bad skin, grey hair and a glass half empty outlook, but as he lasted to 92, maybe a longish life.

What good or bad things did your parents gift you, physical, psychological or behavourial ?

From Dad - a number of genetic defects affecting my heart which mean my life won’t be as long as I’d have liked.

From mum - my sense of humour.

From my 'dad', the habit of putting things on or near the edge of the table, or even overhanging. It used to drive him mental. He would always push them away from the edge and shout "Don't put things near the edge". I wonder if it was from his Navy days.
Also a live of Sci-Fi and cats.

My Dad crossed the globe birdwatching and my brother has lived in various different countries.

My Mum was a real home bird and I rarely leave south east England.

Mum - Over worrying about everything, which I'm only just starting to realise has probably held me back and stunted my ambition due to not taking risks and playing life too safe, when I feel like a natural risk taker and love high adrenaline sports etc, so always fighting against my natural disposition if that makes sense. LOTS of good things too, so I can't hold much against her.

Dad - I'm turning into him, but I spent so much time shadowing him when I was a kid it's inevitable really, but I catch myself doing or saying things now that used to annoy me about him, and I'm exactly the same and shudder when I realise.
