Detailed explanation-1: -Genes are responsible for the development of traits in organisms. A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Development due to genes inherited from parents, such as in height and weight, brain, heart, and lungs development, etc. all point towards the role of biological processes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gene expression is the mechanism by which genes control traits. The DNA of a gene contains a nucleotide sequence corresponding to a specific amino acid sequence of a protein via the genetic code, consisting of three codons, each of which specifies a particular amino acid.

Detailed explanation-3: -A trait, as related to genetics, is a specific characteristic of an individual. Traits can be determined by genes, environmental factors or by a combination of both. Traits can be qualitative (such as eye color) or quantitative (such as height or blood pressure).

Detailed explanation-4: -A genetically determined characteristic or condition is known as trait. It is the characteristic inherited from the parent by the progeny.
