Answer:Human height

Explanation:

Inheritance patterns are often more complex than predicted by simple mendalian genetics. When Mendel studied some phenotypic characters, like the human skin color and height, they were found to be an addictive effect of two or more genes on a single phenotypic character. These are called quantitative characters, which usually indicates polygenic inheritance.

The human height is an example of quantitative character, it is controlled by at least 3 genes having 6 alleles. 3 genes with 6 alleles from both parent can give rise to wide range of phenotypic character (heights).

Explain how introducing a new species to an ecosystem or losing an entire population can impact the ecosystem.
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The ecosytsem has a very fine balance. Each species is dependant on one another for food and population control. Introducing a new species such as the Cane Toad which has been introduced into Australia and Flordia and are extrmely invasive completly wipping out populations of Native species and are a huge problem. If you lose a population such as the wolves in yellow stone species such as elk will actually suffer from starvation and other issues due to lack of food etc because the wolves were not there for population control. But in some cases such as the wolves who were added back into Yellow stone it had a huge positive impact on species/populations.
