polygenic inheritance
What else can I help you with?
What is the variation in human skin color an example of?
This is a typical kind of continuous variation which is controlled by polygenes.
Variation of human skin color is an example of?
polygenic traits
Is human skin colour continuous or discontinuous variation?
Natural eye colour is discontinuous. :) !
Variation in human skin color is an example of what?
Skin color is a polygenic trait. A polygenic trait is one that is controlled by multiple genes. Each gene for skin color deposits no pigment, some pigment, or lots of pigment. The additive effect of the deposited pigment from each gene for skin color results in a whole spectrum (continuum) of color. Also, skin color is affected by the environment, which further increases the variation in human skin color.
What human health conditions could result from a increase in uv radiation?
Skin cancer
Why is height continuous variation?
You have the gene of tallness, but you don't eat enough so that your body size doesn't change. Continuous variation in human population is always the result of interaction between genotype and the environment
What is the variation within the human population?
Variation within the human population refers to the differences in traits such as height, skin color, and blood type that exist among individuals. This variation is influenced by genetic factors, environmental factors, and interactions between the two. It is what allows humans to adapt to different environments and thrive in diverse conditions.
What is a result of polygenic inheritance?
Polygenic inheritance results in traits that are controlled by multiple genes, leading to a wide range of possible phenotypes within a population. This can contribute to continuous variation in traits such as height, skin color, and intelligence.
What are specific examples of variation within a species?
Human species, as in the variation in height.
What is a source of genetic variation in organisms?
Human recombination is a significant source of genetic variation.
What adverse effect can result from overexposure of human tissues to uv light?
Overexposure to UV light can lead to sunburn, skin aging, and an increased risk of skin cancer. Additionally, it can damage the DNA in skin cells, leading to mutations that may contribute to the development of skin cancer.
What is the difference between a human skin and a polar bear?
Human skin is well skin, and polar bears aren't human skin.
