Trait

This genetic trait would then be "selected for" as those with the trait would have an increased chance of survival, and therefore progeny, over those without the trait.

He grew not to trust anyone, which was a good trait for a survivor but a terrible trait for someone who wants to restart society.

The openness personality trait has gotten a lot of attention lately, as a trait more likely to be found among people who identify as liberals than those who identify as conservative.

We find a panel of markers that go with a trait, but not every gene that affects that trait is known.

Although the shorter life expectancy for those with the homozygous condition would tend to disfavor the trait's survival, the trait is preserved in malaria-prone regions because of the benefits provided by the heterozygous form.

As an analogy, some laypeople may think of the degree of a trait being made up of two "buckets," genes and environment, each able to hold a certain capacity of the trait.

Definition A phenotypic trait is an obvious and observable trait; it is the expression of genes in an observable way.

However, many non-scientists who encounter a report of a trait having a certain percentage heritability imagine non-interactional, additive contributions of genes and environment to the trait.

If the trait carries throughout a population, all individuals can have this trait.

In each of these cases, one trait is dominant and all the offspring, or Filial-1 (abbreviated F 1 ) generation, showed the dominant trait.

In particular, if the trait is quantitative and univariate then both higher and lower trait levels are favoured.

Mendelian trait A Mendelian trait is one that is controlled by a single locus in an inheritance pattern.

The genes contribute to a trait, and the phenotype is the observable expression of the genes (and therefore the genotype that affects the trait).

The heritability of a trait describes the proportion of variation in the trait that is attributable to genetic factors within a particular population.

Tolkien does not specifically mention foot size as a generic hobbit trait, but does make it the distinctive trait of the Proudfoot hobbit family.

Trait Anxiety can be either a short term 'state' or a long term "trait".

Trait B shows a high heritability since correlation of trait rises sharply with degree of genetic similarity.

Able to let his mind wander, he began to look more forensically at perfectionism, a trait he recognised in himself and – until that point – had rather celebrated.

Allsop, though, was head-hunted by Rosenior for his ability with the ball at his feet, a key trait the City boss requires to fit within his system of building from the back, and will likely get his chance before too long.

A lot of that comes from feeling like I have to be that one trait.
