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.

Soloha48 [4]
Wind and moist air are drawn by the prevailing winds towards the top of the mountains, where it condenses and precipitates before it crosses the top. The air, without much moisture left, advances across the mountains creating a drier side called the "rain shadow".

Mountains can have a significant effect on rainfall. When air reaches the mountains, it is forced to rise over this barrier. As the air moves up the windward side of a mountain, it cools, and the volume decreases. As a result, humidity increases and orographic clouds and precipitation can develop.

Powered by. A rain shadow is a patch of land that has been forced to become a desert because mountain ranges blocked all plant-growing, rainy weather. On one side of the mountain, wet weather systems drop rain and snow. On the other side of the mountain—the rain shadow side—all that precipitation is blocked.
