Nucleic acids (DNA) control traits and inheritance.

Briefly: DNA contains genes that are passed to offspring (via gametes) and encode proteins that produce traits. Proteins are the molecules that carry out functions and determine phenotypes, while temperature is an environmental factor that can influence gene expression but does not determine inheritance.
