How many factors did Mendel conclude control each trait?
the plant has 2 factors for each possible trait one for each parent
Is it true that factors that control a trait exist in pairs?
yes it's true
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.
When many genes control a trait the trait will show a large number of what?
Phenotypes
A trait which always appears when it is present is called what kind of trait?
It is called a dominant trait
How many factors did Mendel conclude control each trait?
the plant has 2 factors for each possible trait one for each parent
Is it true that factors that control a trait exist in pairs?
yes it's true
What is the condition called when there are many genes that affect a trait which are susceptible to changes due to environmental factors?
Multifactorial trait
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.
What is it called when three or more contrasting genes control a trait?
Polygenic
Can multiple genes control a single trait?
yes its called pleiotropy
How many phenotypes does each trait have?
the offspring have two factors for each trait
Factors that control traits are called what?
A "trait" such as tall/short or round/shrivelled (in relation to pea plants Mendelian genetics) is determined by which allele or version of the gene is inherited by the offspring.
When than two alleles control a trait?
The presence of more than two alleles that control a trait is called multiple allele. An example of this is the group gene of ABO blood that has three alleles.
Based on his experiments Mendel concluded that each trait was controlled by two?
invisible "factors" - now called genes.
What is name of the two genes one on each chromosome of a pair that control the same trait are called?
genes
What is a trait that masks a trait called?
A suppressive trait...
