Characteristics determined by genes

Specific characterization of an organism is called a trait, which can be determined by genes, environment, and their interaction. The genetic contribution of these traits defines the organism’s genotype, and the physical appearance of genes is known as the phenotype. Skin colour, height, eye colour, diseases are the traits that get genetically inherited. Genes Genes […]

For example, achondroplasia causes arms and legs to be significantly shorter than those of an average-sized person, but the torso to be similar to that of someone who is not dwarfed. In

Traits are a person’s defining qualities. For instance, their blood type or the colour of their hair. Genes, as well as gene-environment interactions, have a role in phenotyping. Keep in mind that genes are programmed as the signal transmitters in our DNA that define our unique personalities. As a result, a phenotype is the physical
