How nice you are.
Yeah I was shocked too when I found out.
A single-gene trait is a phenotypic trait controlled by two homologous alleles.
if its all controlled by one gene
How nice you are. Yeah I was shocked too when I found out.
A single gene trait is a specific characteristic or phenotype that is influenced by the expression of a single gene. This means that the presence or absence of a particular trait is determined by variations in one specific gene. Examples include earlobe attachment, hair color, and tongue rolling.
Polygenic Traits
A trait controlled by many genes
One gene controlled one trait within Mendel's study, but the sickle cell anemia effects more than one trait.
A non Mendelian trait can be controlled by one gene. When a trait is controlled by one gene it results in genetic disorders. Examples of disorders due to single gene inheritance - Huntington disease, Fragile-X syndrome.
Yes, if a trait is controlled by a dominant gene, it will be expressed regardless of the instructions of the corresponding gene in the other half of the pair. Dominant genes only require one copy to be expressed in the phenotype.
One gene controlled one trait within Mendel's study, but the sickle cell anemia effects more than one trait.
One example of a trait controlled by a single gene with two alleles is flower color in snapdragons. The gene responsible for flower color has two alleles: one for red flowers and one for white flowers.
wther a person has earlobes or not
