What is the difference between qualitative and quantitative traits in a population?
Qualitative traits are characteristics that can be observed and categorized into distinct groups, such as eye color or blood type. Quantitative traits, on the other hand, are traits that can be measured and quantified, such as height or weight.
What are polygenetic traits?
Polygenetic traits are traits that are influenced by multiple genes working together. These traits often show a continuous range of variation in a population rather than distinct categories. Examples include height, skin color, and intelligence.
What term is used by biologists to describe the differences within a population with respect to features such as height?
The term used by biologists to describe the differences within a population with respect to features such as height is "variation". Variation refers to the range of different traits or characteristics that individuals within a population exhibit, including height.
Do bacteria siblings have variable traits?
yes because they get their traits form their parents.
What produces variable traits depending on environmental conditions?
Phenotypic plasticity allows organisms to develop different traits in response to environmental factors. This flexibility in traits can lead to individuals within a population showing variability in their characteristics due to environmental influences.
Are height and skin color enviormental traits?
Only in long term adjustments (selection).
What produces variable traits depending on the environmental conditions?
Alleles
What are some polygenic traits in humans?
Skin color, height, weight
Physical traits include?
Physiological traits can be- intelligence, personality, or emotional adjustment.
What are physical traits?
Physical traits refer to characteristics of an organism's physical appearance that are determined by genetic inheritance, such as hair color, eye color, height, and facial features. These traits are often observable and can vary from individual to individual within a population.
What variable force is most important to adaptation over time?
The variable force that is most important to adaptation over time is natural selection. Natural selection acts on heritable traits within a population, favoring those that provide a survival or reproductive advantage. This process leads to the accumulation of beneficial traits over generations, resulting in adaptation to changing environments.
What are observable traits such as height and size of your feet part of?
The observable traits are part of your DNA, your genetics.
