Yes the answer is genes.
Polygenic traits are determined by multiple gene received from each parent.
D.
Selective breeding
In selective breeding, the desired genes from one organism are combined with genes of another organism, resulting in a new combination of genes.
<span>The selective breeding is quite voluntary and is not necessarily natural or congenital. It is the act of how people or individuals can choose traits in the gene pool of their choice to produce their desired or goal organism in the process. This trait is influenced in the host of the specific sperm and egg cell which makes up the chromosomes. </span>
Bacteria<span> are the simplest of creatures that are considered </span>alive<span>. </span>Bacteria<span> are everywhere. They are in the bread you eat, the soil that plants grow in, and even inside of you. They are very simple cells that fall under the heading prokaryotic.</span>
prophase
Further genetic variation comes from crossing over, which may occur during prophase I of meiosis. In prophase I of meiosis, the replicated homologous pair of chromosomes comes together in the process called synapsis, and sections of the chromosomes are exchanged.
