Fireflies inherit traits that enable them to produce bioluminescence, which is primarily due to the enzyme luciferase and the pigment luciferin. These traits are genetically determined and play a crucial role in mating rituals and predator avoidance. Additionally, their wing structure and body size, which influence their flight patterns and habitat preferences, are also inherited. Together, these traits contribute to their survival and reproductive success in various environments.
