Is a gene mean the same as a trait?

Answer 1

Traits can be affected by environment, genetics, and spirituality while genes are inherited from parents and often are hard to ignore. Such as brown eyes. Only color contacts can change their color. But a trait, such as, say, a facial gesture, can be stopped. This is just a basic difference.

Answer 2

A gene is what makes up a trait in you, but are technically not the same thing.

Genes are essentially a way for describing a set of molecules in DNA, although the concept predates the ability to sequence DNA and determine the exact structure of the genes. Typically genes are very specific. Sometimes a single gene can be responsible for an effect, or sometimes multiple genes combine to produce the effect.

A trait could be genetic, or perhaps environmental, or both. For example, if you considered anger as a trait. It can run in families. However, it might involve both genetic and environmental components. Being thin or obese would also include both genetic and environmental components.

So, some traits like blue eyes may be caused by a single gene. But, many other traits are far more complex.

Answer 3

A gene contains 2 alleles. For example the gene for the colour of a pea would consist of the alleles T and t. The big and small letters are alleles which are alternative versions of a gene. So what does this mean? Well the big letter T would result in the colour being tan (just a hypothetical example) and the second allele, thelower-caseletter, t, would result in a differentcolourlike yellow. So the gene could provide two different colours or phenotypes depending on the alleles present. For example if the alleles were TT or Tt, then the colour would be tan but if the alleles were tt the colour would be yellow. The big T is the dominant allele meaning that when it is present in the gene, it will always be expresses and the lowercase allele, or the recessive allele will be masked by the dominant.

Answer 4

No, a gene is a specific sequence of DNA that determines a trait. A trait is a characteristic or feature of an organism that results from the expression of one or more genes. Genes influence the development of traits, but not all genes directly correspond to a visible trait.

Answer 5

hybrid has genes that are different for a trait,such as Tt

Answer 6

A gene is a section of a chromosome that codes for a specific trait.

Answer 7

Well genes differ from traits because genes are segments of DNA that code for a protein or RNA molecule and traits are features you inherit from your parents

Answer 8

it different because their rna and DNA
