Polygenic Inheritance
DNA you get them passed down from genes/traits!
DNA you get them passed down from genes/traits!
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.
Yes, human traits like eye color and height are polygenic traits, meaning they are influenced by multiple genes. This is why there is a continuous range of variation in these traits rather than distinct categories. Variations in these genes contribute to the different combinations that result in the wide range of eye colors and heights seen in human populations.
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.
it is because they have genes
Three genetic traits found in human beings include eye color, blood type, and hair texture. These traits are inherited from our parents and are determined by specific genes. Variations in these genes contribute to the diversity of physical traits seen in human populations.

height, hair color, eye color, diabetes, heart disease, cancer these are more common..mendelian traits are more rare and easier to predict
Human height, weight, and skin color are examples of characteristics determined by both genetics and environmental factors. Genes play a significant role in determining these traits, but factors such as diet, lifestyle, and exposure to sunlight can also influence them.
Because these are governed by quatitative or multiple genes
