How is a trait determined?

Answer 1

Genetic traits are determined based on the genes an individual inherits from his parents. All an individual's genes determines his genotype, while factors such as dominance and recessiveness determine phenotype.

Answer 2

A trait is an observable, or otherwise measurable characteristic. Most commonly observable traits are due to one or more distinct genetic factors. Some traits are nearly all due to expression of a genetic factor, even a single gene, however most traits are a combination of genetic elements and their combined expression. The expression of many traits are determined from a combination of genetic, age, and environmental factors.

Answer 3

A trait is determined by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Genes provide the instructions for traits, but how they are expressed can be influenced by environmental factors such as diet or stress. Additionally, some traits can be influenced by a combination of multiple genes working together.

Answer 4

the gene pool chooses your traits such as eye color, hair color , physical looks, and more.
