Questions and Answers

Which of the following best describes a quantitative trait locus (QTL)?

A section of DNA that is associated with a phenotypic trait in an individual

A section of DNA that controls the genetic architecture of a trait

A section of DNA that correlates with variation of a quantitative trait in a population (correct)

A section of DNA that causes a trait variation in a population

How are QTLs mapped?

By identifying the genetic architecture of a trait

By identifying the actual genes that cause the trait variation

By identifying the number of QTLs that explain variation in the phenotypic trait

By identifying molecular markers that correlate with an observed trait (correct)

What does the number of QTLs indicate about the genetic architecture of a trait?

The number of genes that contribute to the trait variation

The number of QTLs that explain variation in the phenotypic trait (correct)

The number of chromosomes that contain QTLs

The number of genes that control the trait
