Multiple elements of the genome (chromosomal regions) linked through genetic analysis with specific phenotypic traits are also known as
A) continuous traits.
B) discontinous traits.
C) multifactorial traits.
D) quantitative trait loci.
E) polygenic loci.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quantitative trait loci (QTL) are chromosomal regions that are associated with specific phenotypic traits, often identified through genetic analysis. They are used to study the genetic basis of complex traits that are influenced by multiple genes.
