Would powers gained through Hemalurgy be passed down genetically?

[Walter The Moral]

Okay, so we know that Hemalurgy plasters a part of someone else's Spiritweb onto your Spiritweb, which would fundamentally change your Spiritweb and Spiritual DNA. We also know that Allomancy and Feruchemy are stored in Spiritual DNA, and that's how they're passed on.
So, if someone who was not previously an Allomancer, but who gained a power through Hemalurgy had a child, would that child have a chance of being an allomancer? I'm not talking about Inquisitors, because I think that's a different question entirely, that Brandon has been purposefully vague about.

Unfortunately, the most recent WoB said abilities gained through Hemalurgy aren't passed down genetically:

Questioner

I wondered if an Inquisitor had children, if they would inherit stronger Inquisitor abilities, or if they would just inherit the lesser lines from being a Seeker, for example?

Brandon Sanderson

Excellent question. I don't think I've ever been asked this before... The way Hemalurgy works, if you're not aware, you are taking someone else's soul, and you are basically nailing it to your soul... That won't affect the children. So you will have the weaker lines.

They have tried that. Unfortunately.

@alder24 is right on the account that Allomantic and Feruchemical lineage won't be passed down, but some other things do. Take Koloss blooded people, for example; they have some minor changes they've carried from their parents, but they aren't more likely to become Allomancers or Feruchemists.

Additionally, Inquisitors are able to have children with un-spiked humans, but there is a higher chance of there being "complications", likely due to the fact an Inquisitor's anatomy has been rearranged to accommodate their spikes, which would probably show up in some way similar to Koloss children.

Though that was only after Sazed altered Koloss to be a breeding race, it is possible that nature of Koloss blooded has nothing to do with Hemalurgy, and is only result of Sazed's alterations.
