LO 77 Identify the elements that make a quantitative trait. Which of the following characteristics would be considered a quantitative traits? Select all that apply. About 80 percent of an individual's height is believed to be determined by the DNA variants that they inherit. Height is controlled largely by a combination of genetic variants that each have modest effects on height, plus a smaller contribution from environmental factors like nutrition. More than 700 gene variants have been discovered and many more are expected to be identified. Primary Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) has been studied to be influenced by genes at different loci. 45% of Adults in the U.S. have hypertension. Two Indian Paintbrush flowers raised in the same environment were crossed. One parent was yellow and the other was reddish orange. Of the cross, the F2 generation showed a diverse distribution of colors from yellow to reddish orange. The flower Gaillaridia pilchella has been known to show variation in flower diameter. This trait is controlled by a number of genes.
