Answer:
Mainly, the number of genes that control traits.
Explanation:
Polygenic inheritance does not follow Mendel's law of dominance. According to Mendel the dominant trait will mask the recessive trait however, this is not always the case. Polygenic inheritance states that traits are controlled by two or more genes and is also dependent on the environment.
Let's take skin color for example. A fair-skinned person will have a child with a dark-skinned person.
Mendelian inheritance would assume that the offspring would either be fair or dark only.
Polygenic inheritance would assume that the offspring would be either fair, dark, or a tone in between, depending on the environment they are in as well.
Hope you understood it.
It is classified as a coral
Answer:
Conduct an experiment.
Explanation:
Any scientific hypothesis or theory requires the proper step and the procedure to explain the particular points about the theory. Any statement made in the science needs the experimental proof.
The scientific experiments includes the different steps used for the validation of any hypothesis. The experiments can explain the main cause of any phenomena and the factors that might affect the experiments. The experimental studies are performed by the scientists.
Thus, the correct answer is option (e).
In spherocytosis, there is a defect in the membrane proteins of the red blood cells, specifically ankyrin and spectrin. These membrane proteins contribute to the biconcave shape of red blood cells therefore the loss of these proteins will lead the red blood cells to lose its biconcave shape--leading to abnormally shaped red blood cells (spheres) hence the name. This can lead to premature destruction of red blood cells and jaundice due to hyperbilirubinemia. Spherocytes do not hold oxygen and carbon dioxide well as spherocytes have a decreased surface area.
