Quantitative Traits. A quantitative trait is a trait that fits into discrete categories. This means that you can neatly categorize a trait. For example, if a species of plant had either red leaves or yellow leaves, and nothing in between, this would be a discrete trait.xcept for some rare special cases, the humans can only fit into one of four categories for the ABO part of their blood type: A, B, AB, or O.
