The passing of traits from parents to their children is called "heredity." To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate the other options, which don't accurately describe the biological process of passing traits from parents to children.

1. Environment refers to the external factors that may influence a person's development but does not directly involve the passing of traits.
2. Gender refers to the classification of individuals as male or female, but it does not encompass the passing of traits from parents to children.
3. Values refer to personal beliefs and principles, which are not inherited biologically.

Thus, the correct answer is "heredity."
