Well, a "trait" is an extremely broad term. What exactly do you mean by it?
If I take the word trait at its most general, it basically means any chracteristic, so of course bactreia have traits! Any descriptive terms I use could be considered traits (small, single-celled, penicillin resistance....)
Do bacteria have traits?
Yes, bacteria have genetic traits. When you think of humans, you often think of "traits" like eye color or hair color. When it comes to bacteria, traits are a bit different; they are often hidden to the naked eye under a microscope, and are only recognizable when performing tests %26amp; experiments on the bacteria. For example, a certain bacteria might have a trait that allows it to be resistant to certain antibiotics. It might have a trait that allows it to metabolize (kind of like eat or consume) a certain chemical. It might have a trait that causes it to produce a certain by-product (like methane gas).
Best wishes.
Reply:Yes bacteria have traits.
Most male bacteria do not pick up their socks and put them in the laundry hamper, they refuse to take their beer bottles back, and they watch too much television.
Women bacteria complain about the kids never leaving home, get depressed when they do leave home, and spends too much time on applying cosmetics.
Kid bacteria never take out the trash, leave empty milk cartons in the fridge, and track mud throughout your intestines.
Pet bacteria poo wherever they like, never come when they are called, and leave dander all over that phagocytes have to go around and pick up.
No one ever remembers the GOOD bacteria, only the bad ones who have terrible traits.
