Answer: The correct answer is-

D. Human feet come in a wide range of sizes.

According to Mendelian pattern of inheritance, a trait or physical characteristic of an organism is governed by single gene loci.

In other words, a single gene that exist in two alternative forms (alleles that are dominant and recessive allele) depicts a particular trait (such as tall and dwarf height of pea plant).

In the given option D), the wide range of sizes of human feet depicts polygenic trait (as it shows variation) that it is controlled by more than two genes (unlike Mendelian inheritance, which is controlled by single gene).

Thus, option D) is an example of Non - Mendelian pattern of inheritance.

asambeis [7]

Minke whales (pronounced mink-ey), are one of the smallest baleen whales in North American waters and are the smallest of the “rorqual” whales. The rorqual whales or “great whale” family include blue whale, fin whale, Bryde's whale, sei whale, and humpback whale.

Humpback whales can be distinguished by their small dorsal fin and long pectoral flippers, and they show their tail flukes more often. Blue whales are the biggest. They are actually grey, but appear aqua under water.
