Traits that are shaped by many genes are called what?
Traits that are produced by the interaction of several genes are called polygenic traits. Examples of polygenic traits are height and skin color.
What are Mendelian traits?
Traits that are controlled a multiple gene loci. Polygenic traits.
What traits are controled by a gene with multiple alleles?
Some of the human traits determined by multiple alleles would be hair color, hair texture, eye color, built, physical structures, etc. One notable and most common example of multiple alleles in humans would be of the blood groups.
What are traits due in part to multiple loci?
POLYGENIC
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.
Traits that are shaped by many genes are called what?
Traits that are produced by the interaction of several genes are called polygenic traits. Examples of polygenic traits are height and skin color.
What is trait called when it is controlled by more than one gene?
Polygenic Traits
Traits controlled by two or more genes are called what?
Polygenic Traits.
Variation of human skin color is an example of?
polygenic traits
What are some polygenic traits in humans?
Skin color, height, weight
How is pleiotropy different from polygenic inheritance?
Differencebetween polygenic and pleiotropic traits
Is height in humans is an example of a single gene traits?
Yes, as the gene coding for one subunit of hemoglobin is mutated so that it codes one amino acid different thus leading to sickle cell trait.
How does the range of phenotypes for single gene traits different from the range for polygenic traits?
ABO Single gene trait blood group alleles on humans. That is the variation, not much, and not much recombination. 3! = 6. There is posited to be at least 7 alleles for height, which is a polygenic trait. Hypothetical alleles, SMYDKECV 7! = 5040 different combinations of alleles in height polygenic traits.
Trait controlled by two or more genes?
Polygenic Traits
Can one gene influence many traits?
YesYes. Those types of genes are called polygenic traits.
What are Mendelian traits?
Traits that are controlled a multiple gene loci. Polygenic traits.
In a species of rat height is a polygenic trait. what does it mean for this trait to be polygenic?
Usually, traits are polygenic when there is wide variation in the trait. For example, humans can be of many different sizes. Height is a polygenic trait, controlled by at least three genes with six alleles. If you are dominant for all of the alleles for height, then you will be very tall.
