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.

Which of the following wave properties would be the best way to measure the height of a wave?
ehidna [41]
This one would be amplitude. The reason is because amplitude is the distance from the center of the wave to the farthest point on the wave. So, if the amplitude of a wave is, say, 5m, the distance between the center of the wave and the top (or bottom) would be 5 meters. And to find the total height, just double the amplitude.
