Which of the Following is Not a Feature of Quantitative

Question

Which of the following is not a feature of quantitative traits?
A) Environment influences phenotype
B) Effect of environment can vary with genotype
C) Mendel's laws do not apply to these traits
D) Two or more genes are often involved
E) All of these

Accepted Answer

Quantitative traits are complex traits that are affected by multiple genes as well as environmental factors. However, Mendel's laws apply to single gene inheritance, which is not always the case for quantitative traits. Therefore, option C, stating that Mendel's laws do not apply to these traits, is not a feature of quantitative traits. Options A, B, and D are all features of quantitative traits.
