Answer:

Physical traits are observable characteristics determined by specific segments of DNA called genes.In technical terms, a genetic trait is amenable to segregation analysis rather than quantitative analysis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Trait is a specific characteristic of an individual. For example, their hair color or their blood type. Traits are determined by genes, and also they are determined by the interaction with the environment with genes. And remember that genes are the messages in our DNA that define individual characteristics.
