Question

What are three similarities and three differences between Mendelian and Polygenic traits?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Gregor Johann Mendel is known as the father of genetics. He was the one to gave the postulates for the principle of inheritance which are known as the Mendel’s laws of inheritance. Mendel discovered that individual traits are inherited as discrete factors which in a hybrid retain their physical identity. These discrete factors were then known as genes. This term called gene was given by Danish botanist Wilhelm Johannsen. A gene is known as a unit of heredity.
