The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for a term that describes any inherited physical or molecular characteristic that varies among individuals and can be easily identified in a laboratory setting. 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: The key terms in the question are "inherited," "characteristic," "differs among individuals," and "easily detectable in the laboratory." 3. **Defining the Concept**: The term that fits this description is "genetic marker." A genetic marker is a specific sequence in the DNA that can be used to identify individuals or species. It can be a variation in the DNA sequence that is inherited. 4. **Characteristics of Genetic Markers**: Genetic markers can include variations such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), microsatellites, or other genetic traits that are detectable through laboratory techniques. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the answer to the question is "genetic marker." **Final Answer**: Genetic marker. ---
