Gloranthans don't necessarily have anything corresponding to DNA. It's probably no longer canon, but the description in Different Wolrds of how lycanthropy is inherited (I think in an article on Tiger Sons) was impossible in terms of RW genetics, and IIRC the author said this was deliberate.

Heroquesting often allows your offspring to inherit acquired characteristics, so if there is DNA in Glorantha, there are also magical ways to do genetic engineering.
