What is it called when more than one set of genes controls a trait?
yes it could......... when it happens its called polygenic inheritance
A portion of DNA whch codes a specific hereditary trait?
The portion of DNA which codes for a specific hereditary trait is the gene. It contains the set of information that controls heredity.
What is a segment of DNA that codes for a specific trait called?
a gene is a short segment that controls a trait of an organism
Which mechanisms of controlling gene expression occurs outside of the nucleus?
translation
Can a single gene control a single trait?
It was once believed that one gene controls one trait, so it is possible. Currently, the belief is that one gene can interact with other genes to control a trait, and that one gene can control more than one trait.
What Does a particular trait result from the expression of a single gene?
Huntington's disease is a perfect example of a single gene trait. A mutation in this allele causes Huntington's disease in later life. A dominant trait. Widows peak us another. Any gene that controls the total expression of a trait is an allele defined as a single gene trait.
What is a set of genes that determine a trait?
A piece of DNA which controls a trait is a gene variations of a gene are called alleles. If you mean "controls how much a particular trait is expressed" then you would be dealiung with the promoter region of a gene which is near the start and controls how strongly a gene is expressed.
What gene controls the expression of the D1x gene in vertebrates?
The HOX gene or the master gene of D1x

What gene is defined as a gene that controls the appearance of a certain trait?
the dominant allele
Which mechanisms of controlling gene expression occurs outside of the nucleus?
translation
What portion of the central theory of gene expression occurs at ribosomes?
translation
What allele covers up or dominates the other trait?
Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product.
How do you distinguish genes and traits?
Genes are discrete segments along a DNA molecule that codes for a particular trait. A trait is an observable expression of a gene.
