a quantitative trait is a trait for a solution that involves numbers. such as: density, melting point or boiling point. :)
quantitative
Inheritance of quantitative traits or polygenic inheritance refers to the inheritance of a phenotypic characteristic that varies in degree and can be attributed to the interactions between two or more genes and their environment. Though not necessarily genes themselves, quantitative trait loci (QTLs) are stretches of DNA that are closely linked to the genes that underlie the trait in question. QTLs can be molecularly identified (for example, with PCR) to help map regions of the genome that contain genes involved in specifying a quantitative trait. This can be an early step in identifying and sequencing these genes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygenic_inheritance
It is indeed. Quantitative traits suggest that the traits are polygenic, which means that the trait is influenced by more than one gene and skin color is influenced by 3 genes (6 alleles). Skin color is also a multifactorial trait because there are also many environmental factors that change skin color, such as exposure to sunlight.
Genotypes consist of two alleles for every trait. You inherit one allele from one parent, and another from the other parent.
quantitative data is the data that uses numbers and or amounts.

Quantitative research is anything that uses numbers. An example of such research could be a survey asking people how much they make.
When more than two alleles are involved in the inheritance of a trait, it is called polygenic inheritance. Many quantitative characters have polygenic inheritance. Inheritance of blood groups is an example of polygenic inheritance in human being.When more than two alleles are involved in the inheritance of a trait, it is called polygenic inheritance.

According to one definition, quantitative procedures are those that give decision-makers a powerful and organized way to analyze quantitative data. The management uses this scientific approach to problem-solve and make decisions.
A quantitative and qualitative mixed method research uses two mediums of research to combine a single report. It focuses on number (quantitative) and word, action and reactions (qualitative), to compile a single report.
Nothing, quantitative and quantitative are the same thing....
