Answer 1

A physical trait is visible to the naked eye, such as, having six fingers; and a character trait is invisible to the naked eye, such as, being charming. Both can be subjective, for instance, claiming somebody has a big nose is a subjective comment about somebody's physical appearance.

Answer 2

The difference between physical traits and personality traits are that physical traits are mainly determined by a person’s genes, personality traits are determined by both a person’s genes and environment.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Physical traits are facial similarities, body language, nature of hairs and skins. Mostly the face of siblings and the children will have some similarities with their parents or other members in their family.

So, we can say that physical traits are mainly determined by person’s genes. While the personality traits determine a person’s character , hobbies, likes, dislikes, point of view etc.

Thereby, the personality traits will be coming from genes and also from the environment the person has been grown. Both genes and environment effect equally on a persons’ character and personality.
