Genetic Code People possess slightly more than 20,000genes. Genes are segments of DNA that code for a particular physical characteristic, otherwise known as a trait. The DNA that forms genes is essentially a series of bases (A, T, C, G). For example, the gene that codes for brown eyes...

With over 400 breeds, the canine species represents genetic isolates in which all dogs from a given breed share the same phenotype and close genotypes. Each breed history led to the selection of particular alleles to meet specific criteria, such as aptitudes or morphological traits, but also to...

Gene:A section of a chromosome that carries instructions for the formation, functioning, and transmission of specific traits from ...

Genotype is the genetic makeup of an individual cell or organism that determines or contributes to its phenotype. The contrasting terms genotype and phenotype are used to define the characteristics or traits of an organism. The genotype identifies the alleles related to a single trait (e.g. Aa...

The scientific definition is similar, but more specific: in biology, a trait is a specific characteristic stored within the genetic material of an organism, that determines some specific aspect of how it looks or behaves. Traits are typically inherited from the parents of the organism. Some ...
