TRAIT = A trait is something about you that makes you "you." When your mother says that you get all your best traits from her, she means you have the same charming smile and the same brilliant mind as she has. In science, trait refers to a characteristic that is caused by genetics.
ALLELES = each of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome
PHENOTYPE = The term "phenotype" refers to the observable physical properties of an organism; these include the organism's appearance, development, and behavior.
GENOTYPE = In a broad sense, the term "genotype" refers to the genetic makeup of an organism; in other words, it describes an organism's complete set of genes. ... Humans are diploid organisms, which means that they have two alleles at each genetic position, or locus, with one allele inherited from each parent
