Biology

Snowcat [4.5K]3 years ago

Answer: Polygenic means that most traits are controlled by an additive effect of two or more genes on a single phenotype.

Explanation: Polygenic inheritance or quantitative characters are those that vary in the population along a continuum. For example, height, skin color, etc.

Often, penetrance, pleiotropy, epistasis, expressivity and environmental factors are involved in producing a continuous distribution of phenotypes.

Traits such as height that show a continuous range of variation and do not behave in a single Mendelian fashion are known as quantitative or complex traits.

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

a. suprachiasmatic nucleus.

Explanation:

The circadian rhythm is an internal process that regulates daily cycle (sleep/wake conditions through the 24 hours). This process is performed by circadian clock which is located in hypothalamus, in the suprachiasmatic nucleus. It has been shown that when the suprachiasmatic nucleus is destroyed, regular sleep–wake rhythm is lost.

The suprachiasmatic nucleus sends information to the pineal gland, which secretes hormone melatonin (regulator of  sleep–wake cycle).

What gland is essential to the menstrual and ovarian cycles
TiliK225 [7]
C. Pituitary gland.

The pituitary gland is responsible for the release of follicle-stimulating hormone and leutinizing hormone. Follicle-stimulating is important in the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, as it stimulates the development of ovarian follicles. Leutinizing hormone is important in the initiation of ovulation and in the stimulation of the corpus luteum to produce progesterone.

Your BFF is a red-headed, left-handed, blue-eyed girl. She finds out that you are taking Human Genetics and wants you to explain
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Red hair, left handed, and blue eyes are recessive traits.

Any trait has its two allele, dominant and recessive. Dominant trait allele if present with the recessive allele, then the phenotype will be of dominant allele.

Suppose A = dominant allele for brown color hair, a = recessive allele for red color hair.

As mentioned above red color hair is recessive in nature. for the recessive traits to show, the alleles should be recessive only.

Aa (brown hair) (parent 1) is crossed with Aa (parent 2) (brown hair). They both have gametes A and a.

Their children will have genotype AA, aa, and Aa. AA = brown color, aa = red color hair, and Aa= brown color hair.

Same case goes with the left hand and blue eyes traits.

So, the girl parents must be having recessive alleles for all the traits, and she must have inherited all the recessive allele only.
