What characteristics are affected by genes?
Just about ALL human (and living organism) characteristics are affected by genes.
Why does height in humans have such a wide variety in phenotypes?
Because Height is controlled by at least four genes
Explain how the inheritance of traits is controlled in organisms?
The inheritance of traits is controlled in organisms by genes. These genes come from either one or two parents. The alleles determine what traits are dominant or recessive in the new organism.
What are the characteristics of polygenic traits?
Polygenic means that multiple genes created the same trait. The skin color gene is polygenic because multiple genes will give you the same trait.
What do purebreds have the same of?

What controls the characteristics of an organism?
Whether the allele is dominant or recessive.
What controls inherited characteristics?
The characteristics of an individual are controlled by genes through specificity in the synthesis of proteins. In another words, gene expression depends on the type of protein synthesized by that gene.
What features are controlled by genes?
Heredity and cell structure and functions are controlled by genes by controlling protein synthesis.
What characteristics are affected by genes?
Just about ALL human (and living organism) characteristics are affected by genes.
What controls traits in organisms?
The traits of an organism are controlled by genes and environment. Genes
What are the traits of an organisms are controlled?
Traits are controlled by the genes of the parents.
What three ways are human traits controlled?
Human traits are controlled by a combination of genetic factors (inherited from parents), environmental factors (such as diet and lifestyle), and epigenetic factors (changes in gene expression without changes in the underlying DNA sequence). These factors interact in complex ways to influence the development and expression of human traits.
What are the genes responsible for the characteristics?
Genes are transcribed to make Proteins
Traits of an organism are controlled by its what?
Genes
What are traits of alleles are controlled by?
genes
Traits controlled by two or more genes are?
Hello there! Traits controlled by two or more genes are for example skin color and height.
What is the function of most genes?
Genes decide what all of our physical characteristics are
