Let's match the characteristics with their parent functions:

1. **Its graph passes through the origin**
- **Linear** (e.g., y = mx + b, where b = 0)

2. **Its graph does not touch the x-axis**
- **Exponential** (e.g., y = e^x or any positive base), as the function never crosses the x-axis.

3. **For all values of x in its domain y increases as x increases**
- **Exponential** (for positive bases) or **Linear** (if you consider only positive slopes)

4. **Its graph never touches Quadrant II or IV**
- **Exponential** (e.g., y = e^x), as it never has negative y-values.

5. **Both its domain and range consist of all real numbers**
- **Cubic** (e.g., y = x^3) or **Linear** (e.g., y = mx + b)

6. **Its graph never touches the y-axis**
- **Rational** (e.g., y = 1/x), as it has a vertical asymptote at x = 0.

7. **Its graph is symmetric about the y-axis its range values are all non-negative**
- **Absolute value** (e.g., y = |x|).

8. **For all values of x, y values increase at a constant rate**
- **Linear** (e.g., y = mx + b) with a positive slope.

9. **Its graph is symmetric about the x-axis**
- **Odd function** (e.g., y = x^3, which is not symmetric about the x-axis but reflects through it).

10. **Its domain values are all non-negative**
- **Square Root** (e.g., y = √x).

11. **Its graph is not continuous**
- **Rational** (e.g., y = 1/x), which has a discontinuity at x = 0.

12. **Its domain values and range values are non-negative**
- **Absolute value** (e.g., y = |x|) or **Square Root** (e.g., y = √x).

13. **Its range values are negative when domain values are negative**
- **Quadratic** (e.g., y = -x^2), which opens downwards and has negative range when x is negative.

14. **Its domain and range values consist of all real numbers except zero**
- **Rational** (e.g., y = 1/x), which cannot accept x = 0.

To summarize:

- Linear: 1, 3, 5, 8
- Absolute Value: 7, 12
- Quadratic: 13
- Square Root: 10
- Cubic: 5
- Cube Root: None
- Rational: 6, 11, 14
- Exponential: 2, 3, 4
- Logarithmic: None
- None: 9 (as a specific symmetrical function doesn't apply to listed families).
