How are multiple alleles different from polygenic traits?
Multiple alleles are genes that have more than two alleles. An example of this would be blood types, with ABO as three separate alleles.Polygenic traits are traits whose phenotype rely on alleles from different genes. An example of this would be hair type, which relies on genes from different parts of chromosomes.The main difference is that multiple alleles are genes with 3 or more alleles; polygenic traits do not necessarily have more alleles, but they rely on on multiple genes.
What is principle of dominance and recessiveness?
The law of dominance is Mendels Law, which is a principal in genetics limited and modified by subsquent discovery of the phenemonon of linkage. The law of dominance is Mendels Law, which is a principal in genetics limited and modified by subsquent discovery of the phenemonon of linkage.
Mendels conclusions and exceptions on genetics?
1.Partial dominance - red x white gives pink. 2.Incomplete dominance - red cattle x white cattle give a mix of both = roan. 3.Multiple alleles - eg ABO blood groups. 4.Epistasis - due to interaction of two or more genes. 5. One gene, many traits 6. Many genes, one trait
Natural selection is based on Darwin and observation that individuals most likely to survive and reproduce are those?
Are those individuals best adapted to their immediate environment.
Why didn't Mendel observe linkage?
Mendel did not observe linkage because, by chance, he chose traits whose genes resided on different chromosomes. Genes on different chromosomes assort independently. To answer the question of 'Who discovered gene linkage?'...The answer is British geneticists William Bateson and Reginald Punnett.
What is the organism whose alleles for traits are identical that starts with a p?
Purebred! :)

What tends to result in a population whose individuals have extreme traits?
Natural selection can lead to extreme traits in a population if those traits provide a significant advantage in survival or reproduction. Genetic drift can also lead to extreme traits if there are random fluctuations in the frequency of alleles in a population. Additionally, sexual selection can drive the evolution of extreme traits if individuals with those traits are preferred as mates.
An organisim whose niche invovles eating other living things as food is know as what?
They are known as consumers.
A polyhedron whose faces are identical regular polygons?
Platonic solids.
What are dominant alleles?
Dominant alleles are genetic variants that are expressed when present in a single copy in an individual's genotype, masking the expression of a recessive allele. In a heterozygous individual (having two different alleles for a gene), the dominant allele will determine the phenotype. Dominant alleles are represented by a capital letter in genetic notation (e.g., A).
A character whose traits cannot be summed up in sentence or two is called a?
round
Whose alleles decide whether the offspring will be male or female?
Whichever chromosome the stallion gives to the mare will decide if the foal will be a colt or a filly.
What is polygenic offspring?
Polygenic offspring refer to individuals whose traits are influenced by multiple genes, rather than a single gene. This results in a continuous range of phenotypes for certain characteristics, such as height, skin color, or intelligence, rather than discrete categories. The combined effects of these various alleles create a more complex inheritance pattern, often influenced by environmental factors as well. Such traits are typically studied in the context of quantitative genetics.

What are the conditions for Mendel's law of independent assortment?
Mendel's law of independent assortment states that alleles of different genes are inherited independently of each other during gamete formation. This occurs when genes are located on different chromosomes or are far apart on the same chromosome. The key condition is that the genes are not linked or physically close to each other on the same chromosome.
Would dolly the sheep have the traits of sheep whose eggs cell was uses or the sheep whose body cells was used when it was clonned?
Dolly the sheep would exhibit the traits of the sheep whose body cells were used for cloning, not the one whose egg cell was used. This is because Dolly's genetic material came entirely from the somatic cell (body cell) of the donor sheep, which determined her physical characteristics. The egg cell provided only the environment for the cell to develop but did not influence her genetic traits.
