A measurable phenotype that varies among individuals over a given range to produce a continuous distribution of a phenotype. Quantitative traits are sometimes called complex traits; they’re also sometimes called polygenic traits because their variation can be attributed to polygenic effects (that is, the cumulative action of many genes).
