Human traits controlled by a number of genes?
there are 42 chromosomes in the human body
Human genetic traits are controlled by?
Human genetic traits are primarily controlled by genes, which are sequences of DNA that code for specific traits. These genes are inherited from our parents and can be influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. The combination of genes we inherit determines our physical characteristics, such as eye color, height, and susceptibility to diseases.
Many human traits such as eye color and height are controlled by?
Polygenic Inheritance
Human height eye color and skin color are all traits controlled by what?
DNA you get them passed down from genes/traits!
What Human height eye color and skin color are all traits controlled by?

What are human physical traits controlled by?
Your hair color, eye color, and skin color are traits which can be from your parents, grandparents and all the way up to you're ancestors. Because of the number, size, shape of melanin we have in our body Melanin is the pigment of our skin.
What three ways are human traits controlled?
Human traits are controlled by a combination of genetic factors (inherited from parents), environmental factors (such as diet and lifestyle), and epigenetic factors (changes in gene expression without changes in the underlying DNA sequence). These factors interact in complex ways to influence the development and expression of human traits.
What traits in the human body are controlled by a gene?
Traits controlled by a single gene areAbility to roll the tongueFree ear lobeHitchhikers ThumbBent little fingerWidow's PeakDimpled ChinMid-Digital HairPigmented irises
What are the traits of an organisms are controlled?
Traits are controlled by the genes of the parents.
What are Mendelian traits?
Traits that are controlled a multiple gene loci. Polygenic traits.
Are Human traits like eye color and height inherited by polygenic traits?
Human eye color is an inherited polygenic trait because it is controlled by more than one gene. Various eye color includes blue, green, amber, hazel, brown, and violet.
Polygenic traits are controlled by no more than three alleles?
No, they are controlled by only two or more traits
