What is a trait?-Genetics and Inherited Traits

Traits are characteristics or features that can be passed from one generation to another.
Some examples include hair color, size, and skin color.
Long tail short tail long ears or short ears
Each of these factors can be passed genetically to another generation.

There are different forms of the same trait.
In this next video notice the different shapes of the noses. These would be examples of alleles because they are different forms of the same trait

Traits can also be dominant or recessive
Each individual has two alleles for each gene, one coming from each female and the other from the male. With dominant traits, an individual carries either two dominant genes or one dominant and one recessive gene. A dominant gene can be expressed even if only one copy of the gene is present.
A recessive trait will only be expressed if an individual has two recessive alleles.
In this example purple color is dominant over white color

In summary, a trait is a feature that can be passed from one generation to the next

(5th grade or 4th idk)
To sum it all up: this type of genetics is inherited traits. This is when a offspring ( newborn or a baby ) passes down something in the family tree. An trait is when you inherit something from your grandparents, parents, OR EVEN great grandparents
EX FOR INHERITED TRAITS: hair type, hair color, eye shape, dimples, nose shape, chin shape, etc.
EX FOR NOT AN INHERITED TRAIT: tattoos, scars, your eye shadow you put every day, you are very good in art class

This is just for the people who don’t understand so don’t read if you don’t understand (unless it’s a emergency) 💗💗
