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>

An absent-minded Penn State professor drives from State College to Tyrone, 20 miles away, at 60 mph (miles per hour), before rea
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:20 mph

Explanation:

Given

distance between college to Tyrone=20 miles

Given professor drives with a velocity of 60 mph

he returns to college after reaching tyrone and then again drive to tyrone.

so his net displacement is 20 miles

time taken to cover 20 miles is \frac{1}{3} hr

average velocity=\frac{Displacement}{Time\ taken}

V_{avg}=\frac{20}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}}

V_{avg}=\frac{20}{1}=20 mph

A uniform 1.3-kg rod that is 0.67 m long is suspended at rest from the ceiling by two springs, one at each end of the rod. Both
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

α = 5.75°

Explanation:

In this case, the problem states that both springs have identical lenghts and we also have theri constant. We want to know the angle of the rod with the horizontal. This can be found with the following expression:

sinα = Δx/L

α = sin⁻¹ (Δx/L)    (1)

However, we do not have Δx. This can be found when half of the weight of the rod is balanced. In this way:

F₁ = k₁*x₁   ----> x₁ = F₁ / k₁   (2)

And the force is the weight in half so: F₁ = mg/2

Replacing in (2) we have:

x₁ = (1.3 * 9.8) / (2 * 58) = 0.1098 m

Doing the same thing with the other spring, we have:

x₂ = (1.3 * 9.8) / (2 * 36) = 0.1769 m

Now the difference will be Δx:

Δx = 0.1769 - 0.1098 = 0.0671 m

Finally, we can calculate the angle α, from (1):

α = sin⁻¹(0.0671 / 0.67)

<h2>α = 5.75 °</h2>

Hope this helps
