Becuase there is a broad range of phenotypes for human height, the trait is an example of a polygenetic (poly = many, genetic = of genes) trait.

Due to the vast variations of human height, the trait is clearly not purely dominant or recessive. A dominant trait is due to a dominant allele (variation of a gene) which completely masks a recessive allele. If only dominant and recessive height phenotypes existed, there would only be two heights observed in humans!

Since there is such a vast variation amongst human heights, the trait is an example of a polygenetic trait. Polygenetic traits are traits that are influenced by more than one gene at multiple loci (locations) on one or more chromosomes. This results in a continuous distribution of traits within a species. Other examples of polygenetic traits include skin color, hair color, and weight.

How did Mary Montagu discover a vaccine for smallpox
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Lady Mary Wortley Montagu adapted "variolation" instead of "vaccination" to prevent smallpox in her children. She learned about it when she was in Constantinople (Turkey) with her husband. There, prisoners were intentionally inoculated with smallpox virus under their skin. When she saw that they didn't develop the disease and were among survivors, she inoculated smallpox virus to her children (son and daughter) as well using a needle. Later on, efforts of Edward Jenner towards vaccination were also recognized and it became a fashion to inoculate smallpox as a preventive measure.
