WHAT DOES POLYGENETIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

polygenetic

Quantitative trait locus

Quantitative trait loci are stretches of DNA containing or linked to the genes that underlie a quantitative trait. Mapping regions of the genome that contain genes involved in specifying a quantitative trait is done using molecular tags such as AFLP or, more commonly SNPs. This is an early step in identifying and sequencing the actual genes underlying trait variation. Quantitative traits refer to phenotypes that vary in degree and can be attributed to polygenic effects, i.e., product of two or more genes, and their environment.

Definition of polygenetic in the English dictionary
