Question
Chapter 24.1, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
How the number of genes that influence a polygenic trait can be determined.
Introduction:
Polygenic inheritance is an exception to Mendel’s laws. Polygenic traits have wide variation in them and these traits are regulated by more than one gene. Height is an example of a polygenic trait, which is controlled by three genes having six alleles. If a person is dominant in all the alleles, then height would be very tall. Another example of polygenic trait is skin color in people.
