Why is a human height an exception to Mendel's principles of heredity?
It's not. It's just that diet can modify height as much as genes.

How is human height an exception to Mendel's principles of heredity?
There are many traits that do not follow Mendel experiments. He was lucky in that the traits he looked at were very simple and straight forward. As far as human height, there are 2 million common genetic variants and there are 697 gene variants in 424 gene regions as related to height which have been identified. Other studies show 199 genetic variants residing in 180 genome regions.
Why is human height an expection to mendels principles of heredity?
Human height is governed by polygenic inheritance, which means that more than one gene determines a person's height.
What is the 4 exceptions to Mendel's principles?
The blood type in humans
what besides flower color are three characteristics of pea plants that Mendel studied?
Besides flower color, Mendal studied seed shape, pod color, and plant height.
How are the principles of probability used to predict the outcomes of genetic crosses?
Whenever Mendel performed a cross with pea plants, he carefully categorized and counted the many offspring. Every time Mendel repeated a particular cross, obtained similar results. For example, whenever Mendel crossed two plants that were hybrid for stem height (Tt), about three fourths of the resulting plants were tall and about one fourth were short. Mendel realized that the principles of probability could be used to explain the results of genetic crosses.
How do you use a sentence with heredity?
Heredity is the passing of genetic information from parents to offspring. An example sentence using heredity could be: "Eye color, height, and certain diseases can be influenced by heredity and are inherited from our parents."
What do Gregor Mendel's peas have to do with the study of the heredity?
Mendel did his experiments by using pea plants with various traits like the color of the flower, the shape of the seeds, the height of the plants etc and studied how those traits behave when crossed. For example, what happens when a short plant with red color flowers was crossed with a tall plant with purple colored flower etc.
What kind of organism did Gregor mendel work with?
A scientist who experimented with garden peas and other plants in his spare time, Mendel discovered the fundamental principles of genetics. Between 1856 and 1863 he grew at least 28,000 pea plants and analyzed characteristics such as height, flower color, and pod shape.
