What is the condition called when there are many genes that affect a trait which are susceptible to changes due to the environmental factors?
A multifactorial trait, a polygenic trait commonly influenced by the environment.
Is sickle cell anemia dominant recessive x-linked recessive a chromosomal error or a multi-factorial trait?
Sickle Cell Anemia is a ressesive trait, but it is autosomal, no sex-linked. And it is caused by an error in the gene for hemoglobin, a protein which transports oxygen in the bloodstream.
Is cleft lip sex linked trait?
No. There are several genes that can result in clefting with varying degrees of severity. And there are effects from chemicals that can increase the severity.
What are the homozygous letters of a tall parent?
Uhh.. theoretically, if you were to represent a tall parent's genotype they would be something like TT, but it's much more complicated than that. Height is a multifactorial polygenic trait that can't be expressed as a single genotype, practically.
What trait masksthe othor form of a trait?
The dominant trait masks the recessive trait.
Is alzheimer's an autosomal dominant trait an autosomal recessive trait an X linked recessive trait or a chromosomal error?
Alzaymrs is ottosomal dominent
What is a multifactorial trait?
Trait that is controlled by many genes and is also influenced by the environment.

Sickle Cell Anemia is a ressesive trait, but it is autosomal, no sex-linked. And it is caused by an error in the gene for hemoglobin, a protein which transports oxygen in the bloodstream.
When a single trait is affected by more than one gene locus this called?
Multifactorial inheritance describes the situation were more than one gene affects a single trait. Environmental factors can also contribute to the single trait.
Is cleft chin a dominant trait?
Both, depending on the genes of the parents. It can also be on genetic and caused by the child's environment in the womb and in very few cases the child's tongue blocks the palate from fully closing
Is skin color a quantitative trait?
Skin color is considered a quantitative trait because it is controlled by multiple genes and influenced by environmental factors, resulting in a wide range of variation. This variation is continuous, rather than being determined by a single gene with distinct categories. Quantitative traits typically show a spectrum of phenotypes rather than discrete categories.
Is cleft lip sex linked trait?
No. There are several genes that can result in clefting with varying degrees of severity. And there are effects from chemicals that can increase the severity.
Is there a relationship between the frequency of a trait in a population and whether that trait is dominant or recessive?
Some observable traits in humans are dimples, earlobes, tongue-rolling, cleft chin, hairline, and freckles. The relationship between the frequency of a trait in a population and whether the trait is dominant or recessive because in inherited human traits, the offspring can either have dimples or no dimples.
Is sickle cell disease autosomal or x-linked or chromosomal?
Sickle cell is a sex-linked trait, If some one is a carrier than the trait is passed down on that chromosome.
What muscle results in a dimpled chin?
None. A dimpled chin is the result of a dip or cleft in the bone of the jaw. It's a genetically inherited trait that can't be developed by exercise.
