Eye color and hair color are determined by?
Polygenic inheritance.polygenic traitsI'm sure
What can polygenic inheritance can explain?
Polygenic inheritance is a reason for some of the variety in human appearance. Eye color, hair color and skin color are all polygenic traits. That is why there are dozens of possible eye colors instead or just two or three. The mixing of alleles from multiple genes increases the number of possible phenotypes.
What type of inheritance is eye color?
polygenic inheritance
What would be your clue that a character would have polygenic inheritance pattern?
Polygenic inheritance shows a continuous variation. An example of polygenic inheritance is human skin because it has a variety of colors. An example of something not having polygenic phenotype is earlobes because they are either free or attached; there is no in-between state.
Are Human traits like eye color and height inherited by polygenic traits?
Human eye color is an inherited polygenic trait because it is controlled by more than one gene. Various eye color includes blue, green, amber, hazel, brown, and violet.

What is an example for polygenic traits in humans?
Haha wow biology test questions on answers.com. MATURE! Look at the information in your packets. My friend looked up a question and this came up and it is the exact same question in the packet. Nice.
What are some polygenic traits?
Eye color, skin color... etc.
Variation in human skin color is an example of what?
Skin color is a polygenic trait. A polygenic trait is one that is controlled by multiple genes. Each gene for skin color deposits no pigment, some pigment, or lots of pigment. The additive effect of the deposited pigment from each gene for skin color results in a whole spectrum (continuum) of color. Also, skin color is affected by the environment, which further increases the variation in human skin color.
What type of inheritance is eye color?
polygenic inheritance
Eye color in human is the result of what inheritance?
polygenic
Traits that are shaped by many genes are called what?
Traits that are produced by the interaction of several genes are called polygenic traits. Examples of polygenic traits are height and skin color.
What is the name of the trait that controls your eye color?
polygenic inheritance
Variation of human skin color is an example of?
polygenic traits
What does it mean when boys ask you what color their hair is?
It means what color is their penis hair.
What is a trait or genetic disorder caused by Polygenic inheritance?
A polygenic trait is a trait which multiple genes affect. An example would be skin color, the combined affects of several genes determine your base pigment shade. Polygenic traits are caused by a combination of genes.
