What is Quantitative trait loci?
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
When two or more genes work together to produce a single trait is called what?
HETEROZYGOUS It is polygenic inheritance in terms of genetics. Many quantitative traits such as length, body weight and blood groups etc are governed by a group of genes.

What is biometrical genetics?
Biometrical genetics is the science concerned with the inheritance of quantitative traits.
Difference between quantitative and qualitative 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)
Is skin color a quantitative trait?
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.
What are the difference about quantitative and quantitative?
Nothing, quantitative and quantitative are the same thing....
