What are traits that are gained during an organism's life and not determined genetically?

Examples of traits gained during an organism's life (acquired traits) include skills learned through experience, such as playing an instrument or riding a bike. Additionally, environmental factors like exposure to sunlight can affect skin tone. These traits are not determined by an organism's genetic makeup and are developed during an individual's lifetime.


How does a gene affect the traits of himan?

Recessive and dominant genes are the material that carries the traits of human beings. Traits of humans such as eye and hair color are determined by the combination of genes from your parents.


Height and skin color are determined by two or more genes they are known as what traits?

Height and skin color are considered polygenic traits because they are influenced by the interaction of multiple genes. Unlike traits determined by a single gene, polygenic traits exhibit a continuous range of variations, leading to diverse phenotypes within a population. This complexity allows for a wide array of expressions, making these traits more varied and less predictable.


Are your traits always determined by just one gene?

No, most traits are determined by multiple genes working together in a complex manner. This is known as polygenic inheritance. Additionally, environmental factors also play a significant role in influencing how genes are expressed.


How is a trait determined?

Genetic traits are determined based on the genes an individual inherits from his parents. All an individual's genes determines his genotype, while factors such as dominance and recessiveness determine phenotype.
