Well poly means many and genic means produced by genes. And polygenic trait means two or more genes so There related because they both produce many genes

How is inheritance be multiple alleles and poly genic inheritance similar?

Multiple alleles is when there are more than 2 alleles in a single trait. In blood type, instead of either one dominant and one recessive type alleles, there is one recessive allele (type O) but two dominant alleles(type A and B). Polygenic inheritance is when more than one gene controls a single trait, such as height in which three genes are responsible.


Why are most mutations in eukaryotes recessive?

Most mutations in eukaryotes are recessive because for a mutation to be expressed phenotypically, it typically needs to be present in a homozygous state. In a heterozygous individual, the presence of one normal allele usually masks the effects of the mutated allele, leading to a recessive trait.


How do modern taxonomists classify organisms?

Modern taxonomists classify organisms based on their evolutionary relationships using a combination of morphology, genetics, behavior, and biochemistry. They use a hierarchical system that groups organisms into categories such as domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. This classification system helps to organize and categorize the vast diversity of life on Earth.


What is genic drift?

Genetic drift is change in allele frequencies due to random chance events. Two types are the Founder effect and the Bottleneck effect. The founder effect is when a subset of a population goes to a new are where there are no other of that same species. The bottleneck effect is when a large population is reduced to a small population. Genetic drift decreases variation in a population and has a greater effect on a smaller population than a larger one.


What is the definition of gene?

A gene is a part of DNA which constitutes of certain defined sequence of nucleotides that code for a specific amino acid. They are the hereditary blocks of DNA and are transmitted from one generation to the other in a particular species.
