What else can I help you with?
Explain why the majority of genes in an organism occur in pairs.?
Genes come in pairs because Genes are in chromosomes and chromosomes come in pairs as well.
What are supplementary genes?
Supplementary genes are two independent pairs of genes interacting in such a manner that one dominant factor produces its effect whether the other is present or not, while the second gene can produce its effect only in the presence of the first.
What is inheritance determined by the interaction of two or more pairs of genes?
Polygenic inheritance.
What is the minimum number of genes involved in epistasis?
The minimum number of genes involved in epistasis is two. Epistasis occurs when the effect of one gene masks or modifies the effect of another gene at a different locus.
Height and skin color are determined by two or more genes. They are known as?
Height and skin color are determined by multiple genes and are referred to as polygenic traits. These traits result from the cumulative effects of several genes, each contributing to the overall phenotype. This genetic complexity leads to a wide range of variations in height and skin color within populations.
Cumulative or cummulative?
Cumulative is the correct spelling.It is an adjective, and means: "increasing or increased in quantity, degree, or force by successive additions: the cumulative effect of two years of drought."

Polygenic inheritance.
How would you describe the two ways cumulative risks occur?
Occur by the increase of effect of one risk or of each added risk
Does crossing over affect one or many genes?
Crossing over can effect on more then one gene i.e. at least two as in crossing over the genes of homologus chromatin get interchanged so it effect at least two genes and can effect or change more then two genes depend upon the linking and crossing over capability
What is the minimum number of genes involved in epistasis?
The minimum number of genes involved in epistasis is two. Epistasis occurs when the effect of one gene masks or modifies the effect of another gene at a different locus.
How many gene pairs contribute to the wheat grain colour?
Wheat grain color is primarily influenced by a small number of gene pairs, particularly two major genes: the P gene and the C gene, which determine whether the grain is red or white. Additionally, several minor genes also contribute to the variation in color. Overall, while the primary genes are few, the total number of gene pairs involved in determining wheat grain color can be more extensive due to the influence of these minor genes and their interactions.
Organisms inherit genes in pairs from each what?
Organisms inherit genes in pairs from each parent during sexual reproduction. Each parent contributes one set of genes, forming pairs that determine the genetic makeup of the offspring. This process ensures genetic variation and diversity in offspring.
Height and skin color are determined by two or more genes. They are known as?
Height and skin color are determined by multiple genes and are referred to as polygenic traits. These traits result from the cumulative effects of several genes, each contributing to the overall phenotype. This genetic complexity leads to a wide range of variations in height and skin color within populations.
Traits are determined by pairs of genes called?
The two chromosomes (two "X" shapes) that are in a pair are generally called "homologous chromosomes". A pair of "chromatids" make up the two arms of a single chromosome.
What genes don't occur in pairs?
Genes on the X and Y chromosomes, which determine sex in humans, do not occur in pairs. These are called sex-linked genes, with males having one X and one Y chromosome and females having two X chromosomes. This results in differences in gene dosage between males and females for genes on the sex chromosomes.
