On my Science homework was the question What controls Inherited Traits? After reading through my text book I discovered that Inherited traits are controlled by genes. So, the answer to the questtion is genes!

When one gene controls two or more phenotypic traits?
polygenic inheritance
When more than one pair of alleles controls a trait is called?
When more than one pair of alleles controls a trait, it is called polygenic inheritance. This means that multiple genes contribute to the expression of a trait, leading to a continuous range of variation rather than distinct categories. Examples of traits controlled by polygenic inheritance include height, skin color, and intelligence.
What is the passage of traits from parent to offspring call?
Genetic inheritance.
The inheritance of traits can be traced by geneticists through what?
DNA Fingerprint
Why is there a wide range of phenotypes in polygenic inheritance?
"polygenic inheritance"- the inheritance of quantitative traits, traits which are influenced by multiple genes. Polygenic inheritance shows how multiple genes in combination with a person's environment can influence someone's phenotype, or physical appearance. A wide range is produced because the gene combinations are vast.
When one gene controls two or more phenotypic traits?
polygenic inheritance
How gentic traits inheritance differ in natural selection vs selective breeding?
Natural Selection is different from Selective Breeding beacuse the environment controls the traits the animal or plant gets. Selective Breeding is the traits desired are the ones bred
What is the appearance of inheritance of traits?
phenotype
What is Mendel's Theory?
Gregor Mendel was a biologist who studied the inheritance of traits. His laws for this inheritance are combined in Mendelian inheritance, which states that some alleles are dominant and as such some traits are dominant.
What does neon feel like?
what are traits and inheritance
How did gregor Mendel learn about inheritance of traits?
He didn't learn about it, he discovered it. He grew lots and lots of pea plants and found that the inheritance of traits had numeric proportions.
Does the inheritance of one trait effect the inheritance of another trait?
Inheritance all traits is independent, according to the Law of inheritance, unless there is linkage in the genes.
Which structures code information for the inheritance of traits?
genes
How are traits passed from generation to the next?
Inheritance of genes.
What ar human traits controlled by?
polygenic inheritance
What is the inheritance of sex-linked traits through meiosis and how it relates to genetics?
The inheritance of sex-linked traits through meiosis is where chromosomes are replicated. This relates to genetics in that the traits are passed on to divided cells from the parent cell.
Does inheritance of acquired characteristics express the concept of natural selection?
No. Natural selection is the differential reproductive success of varying inherited traits. Acquired traits do little to affect the inheritance of traits, except through epigenetics.
