Detailed explanation-1: -Trait – a characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring through its genes. Genotype – the genetic makeup or allele combination. Phenotype-The physical makeup, the organism’s outward traits, how the organism looks.
Detailed explanation-2: -Inherited traits include things such as hair color, eye color, muscle structure, bone structure, and even features like the shape of a nose. Inheritable traits are traits that get passed down from generation to the next generation. This might include things like passing red hair down in a family.
Detailed explanation-3: -Parents pass on traits or characteristics, such as eye colour and blood type, to their children through their genes. Some health conditions and diseases can be passed on genetically too. Sometimes, one characteristic has many different forms. For example, blood type can be A, B, AB or O.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
