What else can I help you with?
Does one gene control many traits or do many genes control one trait?
The answer is simple, genes are inherited and traits are your own uniqueness, genes will have an influence on your traits, so if you are a loud person, that will be one of your traits, and if a parent is a loud person, you will have most likely inherited that gene from them, so the answer is one gene controls many traits because the gene was there first
What is the difference between chromosomes and genes?
Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain DNA, while genes are specific segments of DNA that provide instructions for a particular trait. Chromosomes house many genes, along with other DNA sequences, and are inherited in pairs, one from each parent. Genes determine specific traits, such as eye color or blood type.
How many genes must interact to produce a trait?
It depends on the trait. Some are Mendelian traits where there is one dominant and one recessive allele. Some traits are governed by multiple alleles, like blood groups, and some traits are governed by polygenic inheritance where several sets of genes determine the trait, like height in humans.
What is the term that refers to the determination of a given trait that is a result of the interaction of many genes?
Polygenic inheritance refers to the determination of a trait that is influenced by the interaction of multiple genes. These genes can have additive or synergistic effects on the phenotype, resulting in a continuous range of variations for the trait. Examples of polygenic traits include height, skin color, and intelligence.
How many factors did Mendel conclude control each trait?
the plant has 2 factors for each possible trait one for each parent
How many genes minimum is needed to determine a trait?
The least number is 2, however this is very rare. Most traits require many genes to produce a trait.
A typical gene contains the instructions for making?
It depends. Some genes determine a single trait all by themselves. Some genes work with other genes to make a trait. It takes several separate genes to determine how tall you will be. And then there are other genes that by themselves determine multiple traits. Each gene is the code for a peptide chain. Many of those become proteins.
