what are traits

Traits are specific characteristics of an individual that can be determined by genes, environmental factors, or a combination of both. In genetics, traits can be physical or behavioral, and they can be qualitative (e.g., eye color) or quantitative (e.g., height or blood pressure). They are part of an individual's overall phenotype and can be passed from one generation to another. Examples of traits include personality, talents, likes, dislikes, and physical features such as hair color, skin color, and gender
