In biology, a trait or character is a
distinguishing feature that can be measured, counted or otherwise assessed. |

A trait indicate a physical or metabolic
characteristic or quality of an organism such as size,
shape, taste, colour, disease resistance, which is determined by
inherited genes. The term
phenotype
is sometimes used as a synonym for trait in common use, but
strictly speaking, does not indicate the trait, but any
detectable variation or state of a particular inherited
character.(e.g., the trait eye color has the phenotypes blue,
brown and hazel).
A trait is passed on to offspring through heredity. |
