Detailed explanation-1: -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). A given trait is part of an individual’s overall phenotype.
Detailed explanation-2: -The combination of these pairs of genes that you’ve inherited is called your genotype. Your genotype (DNA) determines the actual traits that you have (called the phenotype); such as eye color, nearsightedness, and whether or not you have dimples.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most traits are shaped both by a person’s genes and by environmental factors. Environmental factors include everything outside of DNA that affects your traits. They are very broad and can influence you in many ways, either alone or in combination with genes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Multifactorial inheritance refers to the pattern of inheritance of certain health problems caused by a combination of both genetic and environmental factors. Certain risk genes have variants that do not cause disease but increase the risk for symptoms.
