Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Meristic traits are those that can be counted and are discrete. The number of kittens in a litter is a discrete trait that can be counted, making it a meristic trait. Blood pressure, fat content of milk, tail length, and oil content of corn kernels are not discrete traits that can be counted, so they are not meristic traits.
