Traits that are shaped by many genes are called what?
Traits that are produced by the interaction of several genes are called polygenic traits. Examples of polygenic traits are height and skin color.
How genes affect characteristics?
It is a polygenic character
What controls a polygenic trait?
two or more genes
Traits controlled by two or more genes are called what?
Traits controlled by two or more genes are called polygenic traits. In polygenic inheritance, multiple genes work together to produce a particular phenotype, resulting in a wide range of possible variations. Examples include height, skin color, and eye color in humans.
What is a trait or genetic disorder caused by Polygenic inheritance?
A polygenic trait is a trait which multiple genes affect. An example would be skin color, the combined affects of several genes determine your base pigment shade. Polygenic traits are caused by a combination of genes.
Traits that are produced by the interactions of several genes?
polygenic
What is the interactive nature of polygenic genes?
Polygenic inheritance occurs when one characteristic is controlled by two or more genes. Often the genes are large in quantity but small in effect. Examples of human polygenic inheritance are height, skin color, eye color and weight. Polygenes exist in other organisms, as well.
Why is height considered a polygenic trait?
Height in considered a polygenic trait because your height is influenced by multiple genes.
Is tallness a recessive trait?
No, tallness is typically a polygenic trait influenced by multiple genes. It is not determined by a single gene and therefore cannot be categorized as recessive or dominant in the same way that Mendelian traits are.
What type two or more genes control a trait?
Polygenic inheritance is when two or more genes interact to control a trait. Each gene contributes to the phenotype in an additive manner, resulting in a continuous range of variations for the trait. Examples include human height and skin color.
What traits that are caused by the interaction of the many genes said to be?
polygenic
In a species of rat height is a polygenic trait. what does it mean for this trait to be polygenic?
Usually, traits are polygenic when there is wide variation in the trait. For example, humans can be of many different sizes. Height is a polygenic trait, controlled by at least three genes with six alleles. If you are dominant for all of the alleles for height, then you will be very tall.
