This article is about the ribosome trait. For the KateModern video, see Trait Positive.

What is Trait Positive?

From what Daniel, Jonas, and Sarah discovered in the box left by Bree's father, it is apparent that Bree is Trait Positive due to an inordinate amount of ribosomes. According to Daniel, "ribosomes are like molecular scissors that cut DNA . . . scientists seeking the origin of life have produced ribosomes that are actually capable of catalyzing their own synthesis. Translation: They somehow make life.

Why is it Important to The Order?

Fans can conclude that girls asked to perform Ceremony, such as Bree,Emma, and Kate, have a high level of ribosomes and are therefore Trait Positive.

The Order invests an extraordinary amount of time cultivating the blood of Trait Positive girls, because, in an effort to seek eternal life, they must transfuse it into their Elders. This was confirmed by LaRezisto in Help Us!, although in recent developments everything LaRezisto has told us has been called into question.

Trait Negative

Any other girls with a normal or low level of ribosomes are Trait Negative, and therefore, undesirable to the Order.

Becoming Trait Negative

In an attempt to make Bree Trait Negative, TAAG, after deciphering Isaac Gilman's letter, embarked on a Mission to retrieve a Trait Positive blood sample and create a Serum using that blood. The exact makings of the Serum are not clear, the only clue we have is "zinc oxide". From what Emma says in Decision Time and I Like Being Me, we know that this Serum is not something that is injected only once, but that there are several injections involved.
