Breeding of parents and f1 offspring do not follow simple Mendelian patterns.

Some simple polygenic traits (two gene loci multiple alleles at one locus) may appear to follow mendelian patterns...such as base coat color in horses. Multiple other dilution alleles at various loci modify the base coat color.

More complex interactions between a series of genes become even more complex and sometimes no offspring of 2 parents that have the desired characteristic are produced in the F1 generation.

How is polygenic inheritance difference from the patterns describe by mendel?

Polygenic inheritance includes traits coming from one source. Mendel described traits as dominant or recessive and that determination created the charts determining the offspring outcome.

Polygenic Traits


Traits controlled by two or more genes are called what?

Traits controlled by two or more genes are called polygenic traits. In polygenic inheritance, multiple genes work together to produce a particular phenotype, resulting in a wide range of possible variations. Examples include height, skin color, and eye color in humans.

What is the term that refers to the determination of a given trait that is a result of the interaction of many genes?

Polygenic inheritance refers to the determination of a trait that is influenced by the interaction of multiple genes. These genes can have additive or synergistic effects on the phenotype, resulting in a continuous range of variations for the trait. Examples of polygenic traits include height, skin color, and intelligence.


How do you describes the inheritance of continuously varying traits using Mendel's rules of inheritance?

Mendel's rules of inheritance, such as the law of segregation and the law of independent assortment, apply to discrete traits with distinct phenotypes. For continuously varying traits, such as height or weight, the concept of polygenic inheritance is more relevant. Polygenic inheritance involves multiple genes contributing to the trait, resulting in a wide range of phenotypic variation.
