What describes Mendelian traits?
Mendelian traits are:simple single traits controlled entirely by one genecaused by a gene with simple dominant and recessive allele formsA Mendelian trait would not involve more than one gene, nor would it involve genes with more than two allele forms.

Would a trait that has only two distinct phenotype more likely be a single-gene trait or a polygenic trait How do you know (3 points)?
A trait with only two distinct phenotypes is more likely to be a single-gene trait. This is because single-gene traits are typically controlled by one gene, resulting in discrete phenotypes, such as dominant and recessive. In contrast, polygenic traits involve multiple genes and usually exhibit continuous variation, leading to a wide range of phenotypes rather than just two distinct categories.
What trait is controlled by a gene with multiple alleles?
A trait controlled by a gene with multiple alleles is one where more than two variations of a gene exist within a population, influencing the phenotype. A classic example is the ABO blood group system in humans, where the gene has three alleles: A, B, and O. These alleles can combine in different ways, resulting in four possible blood types: A, B, AB, and O. This genetic complexity allows for a greater diversity of traits within a species.
How can mutation in a gene affect the traits that an organism has?
The gene will code for a different protein than it should.
What are traits called that are controlled by more than one gene?
They are called Polygenic Traits.
What is a trait is called when it is controlled by more than one gene?
Polygenic Traits
What is trait called when it is controlled by more than one gene?
Polygenic Traits
What is a trait called when it is controlled by more than on gene?
A trait that is controlled by more than one gene is called polygenic. This means that multiple genes contribute to the expression of the trait, leading to a continuous range of phenotypic variation. Examples of polygenic traits include height, skin color, and intelligence.
What describes Mendelian traits?
Mendelian traits are:simple single traits controlled entirely by one genecaused by a gene with simple dominant and recessive allele formsA Mendelian trait would not involve more than one gene, nor would it involve genes with more than two allele forms.
Polygenic traits are controlled by no more than three alleles?
No, they are controlled by only two or more traits
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.
What is more strongly inherited?
Traits or characteristics that are controlled by a single gene, such as blood type or certain genetic disorders, are typically more strongly inherited than traits that are influenced by multiple genes or the environment, such as height or intelligence. These single-gene traits are passed down in a predictable manner from parents to offspring.
What describes a mendelian?

How is the gene involved in sickle cell anemia different from the gene for pea plant traits that Mendel studied?
One gene controlled one trait within Mendel's study, but the sickle cell anemia effects more than one trait.
