Trait carriers (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

genes

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for genes that I've seen before include "Units of heredity" , "Units of DNA" , "Biological factors controlling heredity" , "Factors governing heredity, carried by chromosome" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and the LA Times.
