Phenotypes for quantitative traits are determined by multiple alleles at multiple loci. ii. Phenotypes for quantitative traits can be influenced during development by environmental factors. iii. Height exemplifies a quantitative trait in humans. iv. What appears to be a classic Mendelian trait could in fact be a quantitative trait but with one locus contributing a very, very, very large effect and many other loci contributing very, very, very small effects. v. Quantitative trait loci must occur on the same chromosome.

Genomic studies

Genomic studies (genomics) is the study of the whole genome of an organism. Using bioinformatics and high-performance computing, genomic researchers examined massive amounts of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-sequence data to discover variations or mutations that affect drug response, health, or disease. Genomics is a much younger discipline than genetics, having only emerged in the last few decades as a result of technological advancements in DNA sequencing and computational biology.
