a quantitative trait is a trait for a solution that involves numbers. such as: density, melting point or boiling point. :)
Quantitative traits can be measured. Example: Tom is 5'10" tall Qualitative traits are descriptive. Example: Susan is pretty
Studies in twins more important in understanding quantitative traits.
Weight and circumference would be 2 quantitative traits (involving numbers) and the fact that it's green and round are 2 qualitative traits (things that you observe with your senses)
Biometrical genetics is the science concerned with the inheritance of quantitative traits.
Quantitative means it can be measured. Qualitative is something that is subjective meaning there is no way to really measure it. Example: Quantitative: 2=2=4 This is always true. Qualitative: Puppies are cute. (this is only an opinion. No facts)
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.
Nothing, quantitative and quantitative are the same thing....
