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).

How does cell transport like diffusion impact homeostasis
Reil [10]

Answer:

homeostasis is the state of steady internal physical and chemical conditions maintained by living system.

Diffusion is an important process for living things; it is how substances move in and out of cells.

Diffusion helps maintain homeostasis by creating specific concentrations of molecules inside the body compared to outside and Cells in homeostasis are successfully maintaining the internal conditions necessary for basic functioning

The cell needs to export waste and other molecules, and import fuels and fluids. Plasma membranes allow water, oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass through by osmosis, or passive diffusion.
