A trait is the characteristics or features of an individual. Traits can begenotypicorphenotypic.

An example of a phenotypic trait is eye color, which can be blue, green, brown, etc. An example of a genotypic trait is the DNA sequence and its modifications.

Traits can be inherited, meaning that a father with dimples can pass down this trait to his daughter, so his daughter will also have dimples, even if the mother does not have dimples.
