Answer:

-A single gene can influence multiple traits.

-A single trait can be controlled by multiple genes.

Explanation:

1. A single gene influences two or more phenotypic traits known as a pleiotropic gene.  Pleiotropy is common in the genetics of complex disease.

Example: Phenylketonuria

It is an inherited disorder in which the level of phenylalanine is increased in the human body. This is happening because of the defect in a single gene on chromosome 12 that codes for phenylalanine hydroxylase (enzyme). This enzyme affects multiple system e.g.,  nervous and integumentary systems.

2. A polygenic trait is one whose phenotype is influenced by more than one gene. Polygenic traits are also controlled by environmental factors.

Example: Height, Skin color

These traits show continuous distribution because they are also controlled by many different genes. Epigenetics and environmental factors are also involves.

Mandalian (inherited) traits are controlled by different genes.

What evidence provided supports the claim that "a high level of testosterone provides an unfair advantage in women’s athletics?
never [62]

Answer:

Although higher levels of testosterone in women cause an increase in muscle mass, this condition is also associated with health problems including, among others, infertility, polycystic ovarian syndrome, hirsutism, sleep apnea, irregular menstrual cycles and obesity, and therefore affecting their athletic performance.

Explanation:

A high level of testosterone in females not only influences their physical appearance, and its imbalance has been associated to health issues that affect women's athletic achievement. Testosterone is a hormone that controls gene expression in multiple organs and one of the most important metabolic regulators of sugar, lipids and proteins, thereby level higher than normal may cause the loss of the organism's homeostasis in women.
