Height is a trait that shows continuous variation in humans. In pea plants, onn the other hand, the tall allele is dominant over

the short allele and there are no intermediate heights. What is the best explanation for this differencea. the alleles that control height in pea plants are epistaticb. the alleles that control height in pea plants are pleiotropicc. the alleles that control height in humans are pleiotropicd. height is a polygenic trait in humanse. height is a polygenic trait in pea plants

Answer:

height is a polygenic trait in humans

Explanation:

Height in pea plant is controlled by two alleles of a single gene. So, height in pea plant exhibits discontinuous variations and is present in distinct phenotypic categories (tall or short). On the other hand, height in humans is controlled by more than one gene. This trait is polygenic. The phenotype of an individual depends on sum total of dominant alleles of all the genes that control height. Therefore, height in humans exhibits continuous variations.

Why is it more common for birds to have nests with a few eggs rather than just one or a lot?
Vlad1618 [11]

Explanation:

The large size of a egg makes it difficult for the female to retain more than a single one egg at a time - carrying eggs would make flying harder and require more energy. (Bird eggs vary in size from the tiny 0.2 gramme eggs of hummingbirds to the enormous 9 kilogram eggs of the extinct elephant bird.)

Just as an aircraft cannot fly if it is overweight, all female birds must dispense with the fertile egg as soon as it is formed. And because the egg is such a protein-rich high-nuitrition prize to all sorts of predators, birds must find a secure place to hatch their eggs. Although birds' eggs appear to be fragile, they are in fact extremely robust. The oval shape applies the same rules of engineering as an arched bridge; the convex surface can withstand considerable pressure without breaking. This is essential if the egg is not to crack under the weight of the sitting bird. It takes 26 pounds of pressure to break a swan's egg and 120 pounds to smash the egg of an ostrich.
