Polygenic inheritance, the etymology itself, describes the trait of inheritance that is determined by more than one gene. It contradicts the Mendelian inheritance patterns which suggest that traits are determined by one gene.

The human skin color is a good example of polygenic or multiple-gene inheritance. The melanin pigment is responsible for the dark coloration of the skin and it must be noted that there are at least three genes which control the human skin color.

Utilizing a hypothetical example where the production of melanin is controlled by a so called contributing alleles (denoted as A, B, C) would result in a dark skin color and non-contributing alleles produce light skin color, it is not impossible to see a spectrum of skin colors would result in an offspring.

It must be taken into consideration that alleles do not display dominance over the other alleles. But rather, the contributing alleles does not mask the effects. It gives an additive effect- this means that each contributing allele produces one color unit.

Using two parents, heterozygous (two alleles of different types each) for each melanin-producing genes, (AaBbCc X AaBbCc), it is possible to see how additive effects and alleles combination would result to a varying types of genotypes.

Therefore, it needs an interaction between several different genes and for this to occur, it needs three alleles from both of its parents.

The answer would be, <span>-polygenic in which offspring receive three alleles from each parent.</span>

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

His Kinetic energy = 1/2 m v^2

v = 5 m/s

m = 75 kg

Ke = 1/2 75 * 5^2

Ke = 937.5 Joules

This will be converted to PE when he reaches the maximum height he reaches. In other words KE = PE

PE = m * g * h

m = 75

g = 9.81

h = ?

PE = 937.5

937.5 = 75 * 9.81 * h

937.5 = 735.75 * h

937.5/735.75 = h

h= 1.27 meters

Express in words AND mathematically the relationship between period and frequency
inessss [21]
The wavelength and frequency of light are closely related. The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. Because all light waves move through a vacuum at the same speed, the number of wave crests passing by a given point in one second depends on the wavelength. That number, also known as the frequency, will be larger for a short-wavelength wave than for a long-wavelength wave.

Find the average force exerted by the bat on the ball if the two are in contact for 0.00129 s. Answer in units of N.
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

time of contact between bat and ball is t=0.00129 s

suppose u is the incoming velocity and v is the final velocity after collision

m=mass\ of\ ball

Impulse exerted is given by change in momentum of the particle.

Initial momentum P_i=m\times u

Final momentum P_f=m\times v

Change in momentum \Delta P=P_i-P_f

Impulse    J=F_{avg}\cdot t=\Delta P

J=F_{avg}\cdot t=m(u-v)

F_{avg}=\frac{m(v-u)}{t}

F_{avg}=775.2\times m(v-u)\ N
