Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Continuous traits are those that can be quantified and measured, such as height, weight, and blood pressure. They are typically influenced by multiple genes and environmental factors, and are not determined solely by sex-linked or autosomal genes. Test-crosses are a tool used to determine an unknown genotype, and are not directly related to the nature of continuous traits.
