What is it when more than one set of genes controls a trait?
It is called polygenic inheritance.
What is it called when more than one set of genes controls a trait?
yes it could......... when it happens its called 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.
When more than one pair of genes control a trait it is considered?
When more than one pair of genes controls a trait, it is considered a polygenic trait. Polygenic traits are influenced by multiple genes, each contributing to the overall phenotype in a cumulative manner. Examples include traits like height, skin color, and eye color in humans. This complexity often results in a continuous range of phenotypic expression.
Can a single gene control a single trait.?
It was once believed that one gene controls one trait, so it is possible. Currently, the belief is that one gene can interact with other genes to control a trait, and that one gene can control more than one trait.
What does human height mean when it comes to polygenic trait?
Trait is controlled by more than one pair of genes.
More than one pair of alleles controls a trait?
It isn't genome the definition of genome is a map of the location of individual genes on every chromosome of an individual. It's multiple alleles- having more than two alleles that control a trait. PS- I got this information from my text book:)
What is polygeny?
Inheritance in which more than one gene pair affects the appearance of a particular trait. Polygenetic inheritance refers to the non-Mendelian form of inheritance in which a particular trait is produced by the interaction of many genes.
What is Polygenic Inheritence?
Polygenic inheritance refers to the inheritance of a trait that is controlled by multiple genes, each with a small effect on the phenotype. Traits such as height, skin color, and intelligence are often influenced by multiple genes working together. This type of inheritance results in a continuous range of phenotypes rather than distinct categories.
What occurs when more than one gene controls the expression of a trait?
When more than one gene controls the expression of a trait, it is known as polygenic inheritance. Each gene may contribute a small amount to the phenotype, leading to a wide range of possible variations. This can result in continuous variation in the trait rather than distinct categories.
What is a segment of DNA?
A segment of DNA is called a gene. All an organism's biological traits are the result of gene coding. Though it was once thought that one gene codes for one trait, it is now understood that a gene may code for more than one trait, and genes may work with other genes to produce a trait. It is also known that genes may be turned on or off, but much more study is needed to understand genes completely. Much of the knowledge we have about genes today is the result of the Human Genome Project.
Is shoe size a mendelian trait?
No, shoe size is not a Mendelian trait because it is influenced by multiple genes and environmental factors. It is considered a polygenic trait, meaning it is controlled by more than one gene, making it more complex than the simple Mendelian inheritance patterns.
