Explanation:

Hereditary is an adjective which means (of characteristics or diseases) passed from the genes of a parent to a child, or (of titles and positions in society) passed from parent to a child as a right

Heredity is a noun which refers to the process by which characteristics are given from a parent to their child through the genes.

In the given sentence we need a noun and not adjective. So, the correct word would be 'Heredity' and not 'Hereditary'
