What type of study would a psychologist conduct to determine how much of a trait is influenced by genetics?
A psychologist would conduct a twin study to determine the heritability of a trait. By comparing the similarities between identical twins (who share 100% of their genes) with fraternal twins (who share 50% of their genes), researchers can estimate the genetic contribution to the trait.
What kind of trait is present when many different genes different genes control a single trait such as skin color?
Polygenic trait.
What is used to describe a trait that is controlled by many genes?
A genetic trait.
What is the characteristic caused by genes?
trait
How many genes are needed to represent a trait?
It depends on the trait. Some traits exhibit simple Mendelian heredity, being governed by only one gene. However, many traits are governed by more than one gene, which is called polygenic inheritance.
What is the number of genes that usually determines a trait?
the number of genes that usually determine a trait
A typical gene contains the instructions for making?
It depends. Some genes determine a single trait all by themselves. Some genes work with other genes to make a trait. It takes several separate genes to determine how tall you will be. And then there are other genes that by themselves determine multiple traits. Each gene is the code for a peptide chain. Many of those become proteins.
How many genes determine an inherited trait?
An inherited trait is typically determined by multiple genes working together. The exact number of genes involved can vary depending on the trait. In many cases, dozens to hundreds of genes may contribute to a single inherited trait.

What is the difference between a gene and trait?
Trait is a characteristic like: tall, short, black eyes, blue eyes Trait is determine by the genes: your gene is a little section on chromosome. A gene that control 1 trait usually have 2 alleles, for ex: Blue eyes is : Bb (b or B are the alleles make up the gene that determine the trait.) hope this help for whoever confuse!
What are the pair of alleles for a trait and how do they determine the expression of that trait?
Alleles are pairs of genes that determine a specific trait in an organism. Each parent contributes one allele, and the combination of alleles determines how the trait is expressed. If the alleles are the same (homozygous), the trait will be expressed in a certain way. If the alleles are different (heterozygous), one allele may be dominant and determine the trait's expression, while the other may be recessive and not expressed.
What trait is is expressed when two diffrent genes for the same trait are present?
A dominant trait is expressed when two different genes for the same trait are present.
How many genes must interact to produce a trait?
It depends on the trait. Some are Mendelian traits where there is one dominant and one recessive allele. Some traits are governed by multiple alleles, like blood groups, and some traits are governed by polygenic inheritance where several sets of genes determine the trait, like height in humans.
What trait did Mendel identify in certain genes?
Mendel identified the trait of dominance in certain genes.
What is the relationship between two different genes for a trait in genetic inheritance?
The relationship between two different genes for a trait in genetic inheritance is known as gene interaction. This interaction can result in different patterns of inheritance, such as dominant-recessive or co-dominant traits, which determine how the genes are expressed in an individual.
What is a trait that is determined by ones genes?
domanant trait
Each hereditary trait corresponds to what?
Each hereditary trait corresponds to a specific gene or set of genes that encode the information for that trait. Genes are segments of DNA that determine specific characteristics, such as eye color or height. These genes are inherited from our parents and are responsible for the variation we see in physical attributes and other traits among individuals.
