some human traits show a large number of phenotype because the traits are controlled by many genes. The genes act together as a group to produce a single trait

What law BEST explains why you would expect 75 percent of the offspring to have large teeth?

The law that best explains this expectation is Mendel's Law of Segregation. According to this law, alleles for a trait segregate independently during gamete formation, resulting in a predictable ratio of traits in the offspring. If large teeth is a dominant trait, and both parents are heterozygous (carrying one allele for large teeth and one for small), we would expect a 3:1 ratio of large to small teeth in the offspring. This means that approximately 75 percent of the offspring would exhibit the large teeth phenotype.


Why are the traits Mendel studied in pea plants easy to predict?

Each trait is controlled entirely by a single gene on the chromosome. Thus their phenotype is determined only by the combination of the two genes for that trait inherited on the pair of chromosomes received one from each parent, the genotype. Many other traits are controlled in much more complex ways involving multiple interacting genes, possibly even on different chromosomes. This can make them very difficult to predict or even nearly impossible to predict in some cases. To a large degree Mendel was very lucky to have picked those specific traits to study!


When many genes control a trait the trait will show a large number of what?

The trait will show a large number of variations or phenotypes due to the interactions between multiple genes. This is known as polygenic inheritance, where each gene contributes a small effect to the overall phenotype.


Why do some human traits such as height and hair color show large number of phenotypes?

Because these are governed by quatitative or multiple genes


What key traits are shared by all hominids?

Some key traits shared by all hominids include walking upright on two legs (bipedalism), relatively large brains compared to body size, and the ability to use and create tools. Additionally, hominids exhibit social behavior and complex communication skills.


What are some examples of Museum exhibits in the US?

There are always a large number of museum exhibits that can be seen in the US. Some examples of current exhibits are the Triceratops fossil exhibit at the Museum of Science and the Presidents' exhibit and the National Museum of American History.


Is whale an organism?

Yes, a whale is an organism. Specifically, it is a large marine mammal belonging to the order Cetacea. Whales are complex living beings that exhibit characteristics such as cellular organization, growth, reproduction, and responsiveness to their environment, all of which are traits of organisms.


Is skin color the only polygenic trait?

Actually a large number of traits are polygenic. The greater the variation observed in a population the more modifiers are present.
