How does polygenic inheritance differ from mendelian inheritance

Biology
1 answer:
Luba_88 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Mainly, the number of genes that control traits.

Explanation:

Polygenic inheritance does not follow Mendel's law of dominance. According to Mendel the dominant trait will mask the recessive trait however, this is not always the case. Polygenic inheritance states that traits are controlled by two or more genes and is also dependent on the environment.

Let's take skin color for example. A fair-skinned person will have a child with a dark-skinned person.

Mendelian inheritance would assume that the offspring would either be fair or dark only.

Polygenic inheritance would assume that the offspring would be either fair, dark, or a tone in between, depending on the environment they are in as well.

Hope you understood it.

Lelu [443]

Answer:

For number 3:

The bacterial cell is a prokaryotic cell and the fungal cell is a eukaryotic cell.

Explanation:

I cannot see the cells to answer number 4, but for number three, bacteria is a prokaryote and fungal cells are eukaryotes. You can most likely determine this by the presence of a nucleus (a prokaryote cell will not have one where a eukaryotic cell will).

Why are animal cells more sensitive to changes in water concentration compared to plant cells?​

In his deletion mapping experiments, Benzer coinfected bacteria with one phage that contained a point mutation and one phage tha
wariber [46]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - there will be wild type and double mutant (contains both the deletion mutation and the point mutation)

Explanation:

It is mention that the deletion mutation and point mutation are non-overlapping or no overlapping regions in the phage genome. A crossing-over event between the regions of these two mutations would get wild-type which means there would be neither point mutation nor deletion mutation and other would be a double mutant that contains both mutation - the point mutation and the deletion mutation.

Thus, the correct answer is - there will be wild type and double mutant (contains both the deletion mutation and the point mutation)
