Answer:

Human polygenic inheritance are height, skin color, eye color and weight.

Explanation:

Polygenic inheritance is the set responsible for many characters that appear simple from the surface. Many characters such as weight, shape, height, color, and metabolism are governed by the cumulative effect of many genes.

Polygenic inheritance is not expressed at all as discrete characters, as in the case of Mendelian characters. Instead, polygenic characters are recognized by being expressed as graduations of small differences (a continuous variation). The result forms a curve with an average value at the peak and extreme values in both directions.

Answer:

Plant Reproduction and Life Cycle. The life cycle of a plant is very different from the life cycle of an animal. Humans are made entirely of diploid cells (cells with two sets of chromosomes, referred to as ''2n''). ... Plants, however, can live when they are at the stage of having haploid cells or diploid cells.

Explanation:

In an animal life cycle, male and female parents each create sex cells (sperm and eggs) that unite to form a fertilized egg and develop into an offspring organism. Plants, likewise, have sperm and eggs in their life cycles, but these are produced by an intermediate stage between the adult and the offspring.
