Trait
 In biology, a trait or character is a genetically inherited feature of an organism. As synonym for trait can be sometimes used the term phenotype; the difference is that this second term can also indicate the total physical appeareance or constitution. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ A trait may be any single feature or quantifiable measurement of an organism. However, the most useful traits for genetic analysis are present in different forms in different individuals. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ A visible trait is the final product of many molecular and biochemical processes. In most cases, information starts with DNA traveling to RNA and finally to protein (ultimately affecting organism structure and function). This is the Central Dogma of molecular biology as stated by Francis Crick.

Organism: In biology and ecology, an organism (in Greek organon = instrument) is an assembly of organs that influence each other in such a way that they function as a more or less stable whole and have properties of life....
