My meaning: The way you look: most often determined by the traits given from each parent.
This makes me think of the word heritage and family.

My meaning: Defining features of a person that can change.
This makes me think of describing words. When people describe a "personality trait" it's something that changes but describes. (for instance calm, weird, funny, angry.

My Meaning: A code of DNA that determines characteristics.
This makes me think of the way we become the people we become. Genes are found in every living things and are apart of what makes us human or what makes us into the people we are. Also it makes me think of how generations are defined by genes and they share a root word.

My meaning: The trait that stands out when it is paired with other traits.

My meaning: a trait that isn't visible unless a dominant trait is not present
This makes me think of receding or a recession or a person backing away themselves or declining in a prominent identity.
