noninheritable
Not passed down
Noninheritable describes something that cannot be passed down from one generation to the next.
The term appears most often in legal and biological contexts: a noninheritable estate cannot transfer to heirs; noninheritable traits are acquired rather than genetic.
The mutation was noninheritable, affecting only the individual.
