It is quite scary Bojan but your supposedly immutable DNA can be modified by your environment. You then pass on this modified DNA. It can go down through generations.
You inherit your Mitochondria from your mother. This again is the energy source of your cells and is not passed on genetically but is part of the egg your mother supplies.
