A genetic trait.
Multiple gene inheritance. Sree
epistasis
When a trait is controlled by many genes (polygenic trait), the interactions and combinations of different gene variations make it difficult to predict the specific phenotype a person will have. The additive effect of multiple genes leads to a wider range of possible phenotypes, making it harder to determine the outcome based solely on genetic information. Additionally, environmental factors can further influence the expression of polygenic traits, adding another layer of complexity to predicting phenotypes.
The least number is 2, however this is very rare. Most traits require many genes to produce a trait.
epistasis
Trait that is controlled by many genes and is also influenced by the environment.
a trait controlled by many genes
Non-Mendelian traits are:A trait with no clearly dominant alleleA trait with four allelesA trait controlled by many genes
A trait controlled by many genes
An inherited trait is typically determined by multiple genes working together. The exact number of genes involved can vary depending on the trait. In many cases, dozens to hundreds of genes may contribute to a single inherited trait.
Multiple gene inheritance. Sree
Inheritance in which more than one gene pair affects the appearance of a particular trait. Polygenetic inheritance refers to the non-Mendelian form of inheritance in which a particular trait is produced by the interaction of many genes.
some human traits show a large number of phenotype because the traits are controlled by many genes. The genes act together as a group to produce a single trait
epistasis
At least _____ genes must interact to produce a trait.
The trait of an organism is controlled by its genes, which are segments of DNA that provide instructions for building and maintaining the organism. Genes influence various traits such as physical appearance, behavior, and susceptibility to diseases. Environmental factors can also play a role in the expression of traits.
Polygenic inheritance refers to the inheritance of a trait that is controlled by multiple genes, each with a small effect on the phenotype. Traits such as height, skin color, and intelligence are often influenced by multiple genes working together. This type of inheritance results in a continuous range of phenotypes rather than distinct categories.
