The correct answer is A. Quantitative traits
Explanation:
In genetics, quantitative traits refer to traits or phenotypes (observable traits) that depend on many factors including multiple genes and actions in the environment. These traits differ from other traits because the traits tend to be more diverse in a population. In the case presented, the shell color in clams is an example of a quantitative trait because this phenotype is the result of three different each and each gene contains two alleles which means the color depends on many factors. Additionally, as most quantitative traits there is a higher variation in the phenotype considering clams can have different hues.
The study would most likely be a QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH STUDY.
A quantitative research study is one that involves numeric measurements. The numeric measurement in the question given above is the value of the blood pressure which the researcher has to measure in the course of the research.<span />
It is colder at the top of a mountain because there is less air pressure. The same amount of heat is now in a larger area so it is more spread out.
