Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL)

Quantitative trait locus (QTL) is a stretch of DNA that is correlated with variation in a phenotypic trait. These regions contain genes, or are linked to genes, that contribute to population differences in a phenotype.

Phenotypic Trait

An observable and measurable characteristic of an organism, which can result from its genetic makeup and environmental influences.

DNA

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a molecule that contains the instructions an organism needs to develop, live, and reproduce.
