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.

Which one of the following is a major difference between the circulatory systems of earthworms and fish?
labwork [276]
<span>a. Fish have a single central heart; earthworms have several hearts.

</span>
Multi cellular organisms are made up of billions of cells each specialized to a unique role and these cells are organized into structural and functional units such as tissues and organs.
For each cell and organ to function optimally, it requires oxygen and nutrients and needs carbon dioxide and  metabolic waste taken away  in a  continuous, never ending  process.
<span>A mechanism  is needed to accomplish the important function of transporting the relevant materials to and from the cell. The circulatory system fits this  bill splendidly. It is a specialized organ system which allows blood  and lymph to flow through the entire body carrying nutrients such as glucose, amino acids and electrolytes as well as oxygen to each cell, at the same time carting away carbon dioxide and all sorts of metabolic waste over to excretory organs  to be expelled from the body.
