Trait carrier (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

'trait carrier' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for gene that I've seen before include "Basic unit of heredity" , "Hereditary determinant" , "Embarrassment" , "Hereditary molecule" , "Element of heredity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the LA Times, the Penny Press, the King Feature Syndicate and the Universal.
