Are an organism's characteristics determined only by it's genes?
No, an organism's genetically expressed characteristics, or phenotype, may be altered or affected by its environment; in a purely physical connotation, Nature versus Nurture. There are dozens of Cell types yet we are told that all Cells contain the same set of Genes; how can this be? An organism is composed from organs. The characteristics of an organ are determined by the Expression of the genes that are ensconced in its Nucleus. It is highly common that many 'gene products' act as biochemical switches that by their presence, or absence, determine {called determination} wether or not another gene will be 'actively' expressed. This would be 'internal regulation'. The NEW SCIENCE OF EPIGENETICS focuses on the external or environmental molecular switches that effect (the) patterns of gene expression.
How is pleiotropy different from polygenic inheritance?
Pleiotropy occurs when a single gene influences multiple traits or characteristics, while polygenic inheritance involves the combined effect of multiple genes on a single trait or characteristic. Pleiotropy involves one gene affecting many aspects of an organism's phenotype, whereas polygenic inheritance involves many genes contributing to one aspect of an organism's phenotype.
Characteristics are determined by interaction between genes and what?
Characteristics are determined by the interaction between genes and the environment. Genes provide the blueprint for traits, but how they are expressed can be influenced by external factors such as diet, lifestyle, and experiences. This interaction between genes and the environment is known as gene-environment interaction.
How many characteristics does each gene contral?
2 genes control each characteristic of an offspring. x
The trait of an organism is controlled by what?
The trait of an organism is controlled by its genes, which are segments of DNA that provide instructions for building and maintaining the organism. Genes influence various traits such as physical appearance, behavior, and susceptibility to diseases. Environmental factors can also play a role in the expression of traits.
What are the functions that genes inherit?
Very many genes have their heritably determined functions 'set' to control the functions of other genes.
If an organism has XX genes it is a?
If an organism has XX genes, it is typically female in species where females have two X chromosomes, such as in humans and many mammals.
How many genes can be found in each organism?
There are 23 chromosmes
How many enzymes are required per organism?
The number of genes it has.
Each trait of a plant is determined by?
Each trait of a plant is determined by its genetic makeup, which includes its DNA. Genes within the DNA control the characteristics that a plant will exhibit, such as its size, color, shape, and growth habits. Environmental factors can also influence how these genetic traits are expressed.
What are the characteristics of multicellular organism?
The main characteristic is that they have many cells.

How many traits does a person have?
This cannot be determined exactly, but is roughly proportional to the number of genes.
How many genes for a trait?
A trait is any gene-determined characteristic and is usually determined by more than one gene, therefore the exact amount depends on the specific gene. However, the number of genes in the genome varies from species to species. More complex organisms tend to have more genes. Estimates of the number of human genes, by contrast, range from 25,000 to 30,000.

Characteristics are determined by the interaction between genes and the environment. Genes provide the blueprint for traits, but how they are expressed can be influenced by external factors such as diet, lifestyle, and experiences.
