Definition:

Trait (noun): A distinctive quality, characteristic, or feature that differentiates an individual or thing from others; a specific attribute or behavior that is inherent or acquired by an organism and can be passed on to future generations.

Traits can manifest physically, such as hair color or eye shape, or behaviorally, such as introversion or assertiveness.

In the context of genetics, traits are determined by genes and can be influenced by environmental factors. Understanding traits is essential in fields such as psychology, biology, and sociology, as they play a crucial role in shaping an individual's personality, appearance, and overall identity.

The study of traits helps to explain variations among individuals within a population and contributes to our understanding of human diversity and evolution.
