How is the frizzle trait in chickens an example of pleiotropy?
Because not only will the frizzle trait causes malformed feather,but also results in abnormal body temperatures, higher metabolic and blood flow rates, and greater digestive capacity.Furthermore,chickens have this allele lay less eggs than their wild-type counterparts.
What is a single gene that affects more than one trait?
Pleiotropy!
Can multiple genes control a single trait?
yes its called pleiotropy
Define and distinguish between pleiotropy and polygenic inheritance?
Pleiotropy: one gene affects many traits (phenotypes) Polygenic: many genes affect one trait (phenotype)
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.
What are alleles that have an effect on an organisms phenotype?
The presence of more than two alleles for a trait is known as probility. There might be one which is dormant and the others which are recessive.
