Man Wah Leung (X) Feb 4, 2009:
trait From Free Dictionary, trait is "A genetically determined characteristic or condition. Traits may be physical, such as hair color or leaf shape, or they may be behavioral, such as nesting in birds and burrowing in rodents. Traits typically result from the combined action of several genes, though some traits are expressed by a single gene."
