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.

IgorLugansk [536]
They are solitary animals, especially males who do not live in groups, unlike the female which can form small groups of three or four members with their young.

The males are very territorial, so take care of their personal space and the females with whom they mate. To mark their territory, they spray the trees and rocks with a mixture of urine and musk.

Both male and female, they are related only in times of mating and reproduction. There have been cases where the male is responsible for feeding breeding if the mother has died.

The gestation period lasts between 98 and 108 days and give birth to two to four cubs weighing just over a kilo. They have a short life expectancy, as only get to live 10 to 12 years in the wild, but in captivity Natural mortality manage to live up to 26. It is mainly due to the fighting between males
