Differbetween
A gene is a portion of DNA that determines a trait. A trait is a characteristic, or a feature, passed from one generation to another, like height or eye color.

Is there a difference between traits and alleles?
Traits are basically your phenotype. They include things like hair color, height, and eye color. Alleles are versions of genes. They are what directly specify what traits you have.
What traits are determined by genes?
Your genotype (DNA) determines the actual traits that you have (called the phenotype); such as eye color, nearsightedness, and whether or not you have dimples.
Do genes carry traits?
Genes carry the information that determines your traits (say: trates), which are features or characteristics that are passed on to you — or inherited — from your parents. Each cell in the human body contains about 25,000 to 35,000 genes.
How many alleles do humans have?
Humans are called diploid organisms because they have two alleles at each genetic locus, with one allele inherited from each parent. Each pair of alleles represents the genotype of a specific gene.
What does trait mean?
1a : a distinguishing quality (as of personal character) curiosity is one of her notable traits. b : an inherited characteristic. 2a : a stroke of or as if of a pencil. b : touch, trace.
What is an example of a genetic trait?
Trait is a specific characteristic of an individual. For example, their hair color or their blood type. Traits are determined by genes, and also they are determined by the interaction with the environment with genes. ... So the trait is the manifestation of the product of a gene that is coded for by the DNA.
What are 3 examples of inherited traits?
INHERITED TRAITS are those traits that are passed down from parents to their offspring.
- EX. In humans- eye color, hair color, skin color, freckles, dimples, etc. are all examples of inherited traits.
- EX. In animals- eye color, fur color and texture, facial shape, etc. are examples of inherited traits.
Who has stronger genes mother or father?
Genetically, you actually carry more of your mother's genes than your father's. That's because of little organelles that live within your cells, the mitochondria, which you only receive from your mother.
What genes are inherited from mother only?
And, mitochondrial DNA (or mDNA) is inherited strictly from the mom. Because mDNA can only be inherited from the mother, meaning any traits contained within this DNA come exclusively from mom—in fact, the father's mDNA essentially self-destructs when it meets and fuses with the mother's cells.
What traits do daughters inherit from their fathers?

What traits come from which parent?
Mother's genes are usually 50% of a child's DNA, and father's genes are the other 50%. However, male genes are much more aggressive than female ones, that's why they are usually more prominent. So, there are usually 40% of active female genes and 60% of active male genes.
