The distribution of phenotypes for a typical polygenic trait can often be expressed as?

a bell-shaped curve known as a normal distribution. This distribution shows the range of phenotypes in a population, with most individuals clustering around the average phenotype and fewer individuals at the extremes of the distribution.


What type of distribution curve can be seen with polygenic inheritance?

A bell-shaped curve (normal distribution) can be seen with polygenic inheritance, where phenotypic traits are influenced by the combined effects of multiple genes. This results in a continuous range of phenotypic expression, with most individuals clustering around the mean value.


What type of graph would represents a polygenic trait?

A histogram or a bell curve would be suitable for representing a polygenic trait, as these traits are influenced by multiple genes and exhibit a continuous range of phenotypic values in a population.


What phenotype distribution pattern is common with polygenic inheritance?

A continuous variation of phenotypes is common with polygenic inheritance, often resulting in a bell-shaped curve known as a normal distribution. This means that individuals will exhibit a range of phenotypes with no clear-cut categories.


What does phenotypic distribution look like?

Look at the distribution of male height for instance. The mean of this normal distribution is around 5' 10''. So that means about 69% of men are within one standard deviation of this mean. If you saw a sample of men standing on bleachers it would look exactly as a Bell curve looks; normally distributed.

Why is statistics important to research?

What is the "bell shaped" curve ? A common type of histogram characterized by a high center, tapered sides, and bell-flared edges. A bell-shaped curve reflects conditions that exhibit natural variation.
