genetic trait
A genetic trait is a characteristic or feature of an organism that is determined by its genes. These traits can be physical, like eye color or height, or they can be behavioral, such as temperament. Genetic traits are inherited from parents to offspring through DNA, which carries the instructions for building and maintaining an organism.
Each trait is influenced by one or more genes, and the combination of these genes contributes to the diversity seen within a species. Some traits are dominant, meaning they are more likely to be expressed, while others are recessive and may only appear if both copies of a gene are inherited.
