Traits that are produced by the interaction of several genes are called polygenic traits. Examples of polygenic traits are height and skin color.

When the phenotypes of polygenic traits are represented by a bell shaped curve the?
Many polygenic traits are represented by a bell cure because they are controlled by many genes and result in gradations where each gene has an effect.
How many genes are needed to represent a trait?
It depends on the trait. Some traits exhibit simple Mendelian heredity, being governed by only one gene. However, many traits are governed by more than one gene, which is called polygenic inheritance.
How do chromosomes and genes play a role in the genetic variation of offspring?
DNA contain many genes. and with 2 different parents with many different genes and traits of their own, the number of possible combination is enormous
How many genes minimum is needed to determine a trait?
The least number is 2, however this is very rare. Most traits require many genes to produce a trait.
Why do some traits have so many different phenotypes?
This is because phenotypes are the physical appearance. If you had brown hair and so did I, our phenotypes, would still be different.
What are traits that are shaped by many genes called?
Traits that are shaped by many genes are called polygenic traits.
Traits determined by recessive genes located on the x chromosomes are said to be?
Some traits are determined by recessive genes on the X chromosomes. Many times these are genetic disorders and are called recessive genes.
When the phenotypes of polygenic traits are represented by a bell shaped curve the?
Many polygenic traits are represented by a bell cure because they are controlled by many genes and result in gradations where each gene has an effect.
What three ways are human traits controlled?
Single genes with two alleles, single genes with multiple alleles, and many genes that act together
What factor controls a trait?
A person's genes are what control what traits. Genes can either be recessive or dominant and the combination of many different genes are what make up different traits.
Does one gene control many traits or do many genes control one trait?
The answer is simple, genes are inherited and traits are your own uniqueness, genes will have an influence on your traits, so if you are a loud person, that will be one of your traits, and if a parent is a loud person, you will have most likely inherited that gene from them, so the answer is one gene controls many traits because the gene was there first
Traits are controlled by many genes that act together?
yes
What traits that are caused by the interaction of the many genes said to be?
polygenic
How many genes are needed to represent a trait?
It depends on the trait. Some traits exhibit simple Mendelian heredity, being governed by only one gene. However, many traits are governed by more than one gene, which is called polygenic inheritance.
Traits that are controlled by many genes working together have?
Polygenic
Why do some traits exhibit a large number of phenotype?
some human traits show a large number of phenotype because the traits are controlled by many genes. The genes act together as a group to produce a single trait
How many genes determine an inherited trait?
Hello there! Traits controlled by two or more genes are for example skin color and height.
