Multifactorial polygenic threshold theory proposes that complex traits are influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. It suggests that multiple genes contribute to the expression of a trait, and a certain threshold of genetic and environmental factors must be reached to manifest the phenotype. This theory is often used to explain the inheritance of complex traits such as height, intelligence, and susceptibility to diseases.
What else can I help you with?
Does genetic addiction appears to be polygenic and multifactorial?
Not entirely. Don't forget that there are father and mother genetic factors.
What is the condition called when there are many genes that affect a trait which are susceptible to changes due to the environmental factors?
This condition is known as polygenic inheritance. It involves multiple genes contributing to a trait, and the expression of these genes can be influenced by environmental factors. The combination of genetic and environmental influences leads to a wide range of variation in the trait.
How genes affect characteristics?
It is a polygenic character
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 controls a polygenic trait?
two or more genes
Does genetic addiction appears to be polygenic and multifactorial?
Not entirely. Don't forget that there are father and mother genetic factors.
Is excessive sweating caused by genes or environmental factors?

What is the term that refers to the determination of a given trait that is a result of the interaction of many genes?
"Polygenic" is the term that refers to the determination of a given trait that is a result of the interaction of many genes. Traits such as height, skin, color are polygenic. Polygenic traits do not show the phenotypic ration that charecterizes Mendelian Inheritance eventhough the trait is inherited as stated by Gregor Mendel. Many Polygenic traits are often influenced by the environmental factors.
How genes affect characteristics?
It is a polygenic character
Is breast cancer codominant or polygenic?
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 trait called when it is controlled by more than one gene?
Polygenic Traits
When a single trait is affected by more than one gene locus this called?
This is called polygenic inheritance. Multiple genes contribute to the expression of a single trait in polygenic inheritance, resulting in a continuum of phenotypic variation. Traits like height, skin color, and intelligence are influenced by multiple gene loci.
What is multifactorial transmission?
This occurs when environmental factors interact with genetic factors to produce traits. The term multifactorial means many factors. Traits that involve multiple genes and complicated patterns of inheritance are said to be exhibiting multifactorial transmission.
True or false height is not a polygenic trait?
false, height is a polygenic trait
Are polygenic genes dominant genes?
Polygenic genes are usually dominant genes.
