What are Mendelian traits?

Traits that are controlled a multiple gene loci. Polygenic traits.


What traits are controled by a gene with multiple alleles?

Traits controlled by a gene with multiple alleles can vary in terms of expression or phenotype. For example, human blood type (A, B, AB, O) is controlled by a gene with multiple alleles. The different alleles can result in different phenotypes (A, B, AB, O) for the same trait.


How many alleles is a gene controlled by?

A gene is controlled by two alleles, one inherited from each parent. These alleles can be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous), influencing the expression of the gene and determining an individual's specific traits.


What are traits inherited by multiple alleles?

Traits inherited by multiple alleles are those that are controlled by three or more different forms of a gene (alleles) at a single locus. Examples include human blood type, where the ABO gene has three common alleles (IA, IB, and i), and coat color in rabbits, which is determined by four alleles of the C gene (C, cch, ch, and c).


What is the term to describe train controlled by a gene?

The term used to describe traits controlled by a gene is "genetic trait." These traits can be influenced by one or multiple genes and can manifest in various forms, such as physical characteristics, behaviors, or predispositions to certain diseases. In genetics, these traits can be classified as either dominant or recessive, depending on how they are expressed in an organism.

What are traits called that are controlled by more than one gene?

What three ways are human traits controlled?

Human traits are controlled by a combination of genetic factors (inherited from parents), environmental factors (such as diet and lifestyle), and epigenetic factors (changes in gene expression without changes in the underlying DNA sequence). These factors interact in complex ways to influence the development and expression of human traits.

A trait controlled by a gene on the sex chromosome is know as a?

A trait controlled by a gene on the sex chromosome is known as a sex-linked trait. These traits are often inherited in a sex-specific manner, with different patterns of inheritance depending on whether the gene is located on the X or Y chromosome.


Are traits controlled by the interaction of two or more genes?

or one gene, all by its lonesome.


What is one difference between a single gene trait and a polygenic trait?

Multiple alleles are "the existence of more than two alleles (versions of the gene) for a genetic traits. Polygenic traits are "[characteristics of organisms that are] influenced by several genes." So multiple alleles are more than two alleles for one trait, and polygenic traits are one trait that is influenced by mulitple genes. This information came from my biology textbook, "Biology: Principles and Explorations" by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston.
