Why do polygenic characteristics have many phenotypes?

Biology
1 answer:
chubhunter [2.5K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The involvement of more than two genes.

Explanation:

The polygenic characteristics have many phenotypes because more than two genes governs the phenotype of individual organism. The single gene contains a pair of alleles that codes for two phenotype and two genes will code for 4 phenotype. Thus, more than two genes for example, three genes will have six phenotypes.

The skin color and height are polygenic characterstics in humans.

What do ribosomes do??
sleet_krkn [62]
Ribosome are where RNA is translated into protein. This process is called protein synthesis. Protein synthesis is very important to cells, therefore large numbers of ribosomes are found in cells. Ribosomes float freely in the cytoplasm, and are also bound to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

Why is protien synthesis different in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
zhenek [66]
Prokaryotic protein synthesis can be fairly fast because one gene can be transcribed and translated simultaneously. Eukaryotic synthesis is slower, but more precious. They can "check" the mRNA before it is translated into protein.
