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.

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

D) Iron compounds are a catalyst for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.

Explanation:

The reaction of descomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) to produce oxygen (O₂) is:

2H₂O₂ → 2H₂O + O₂

Based on the data of potential catalys effects on reaction rate:

A) Iron compounds are always used as catalysts.  <em>FALSE. </em>It is possible to know that, for this reaction, iron compounds are acting as catalyst but there is no information about all reactions to know that iron compounds are always catalysy

B) Reaction rate is always increased by iron compounds.  <em>FALSE. </em>Again, for this reaction iron compounds increases reaction rate but it is not possible to know that reaction rate is always increased by iron compounds.

C) Increasing the temperature increases the rate of decomposition.  <em>FALSE. </em>There is no information about temperature of reaction.

D) Iron compounds are a catalyst for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. <em>TRUE. </em>As both iron compounds increases the rate of reaction, it is possible to say that iron compounds are a catalyst for the descomposition of hydrogen peroxide.

I hope it helps!
