Part of one's inheritance? (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

trait

genes

'part of one's inheritance' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for trait that I've seen before include "Distinguishing characteristic of personality" , "Idiosyncrasy" , "Feature of personality" , "A characteristic of straitened kind" , "Mannerism" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
