Answer:

Polygenic inheritance

Explanation:

In polygenic inheritance, one characteristic or trait is controlled by a combination of two or more than two genes. As several genes control a trait in a polygenic trait therefore there are many possible phenotype is possible in this situation.

In humans, examples of polygenic traits are eye color, hair color, skin color, height, body shape, body weight, etc. There is equal influence of gene which are contributing to a trait in polygenic inheritance. So complete dominance is not seen in polygenic traits. Therefore the correct answer is polygenic inheritance.

WHICH!!!!! phenomena release CO2 into the atmosphere?
yulyashka [42]
A lot of carbon stored inside the Earth may soon re-enter the atmosphere, according to a new, global study on soil-based carbon. The massive release of carbon could be the equivalent of adding another fully industrialized country the size of the United States to the map over the coming decades.

Plants, animals, and microbes absorb much of the carbon dioxide released into the Earth's atmosphere by burning fossil fuels. As these plants and animals die, their carbon-based bodies become part of the soil, storing the equivalent of millions of tons of greenhouse gases in the dirt. As atmospheric carbon dioxide is a primary driver of climate change, some have pointed to this soil absorption as a helpful carbon sink, somewhat alleviating the human-caused warming of the planet. But as surface temperatures continue to rise, a lot of the carbon stored in the soil may be set to re-enter the atmosphere in a big way.

What is the most likely mechanism by which testosterone functions inside a cell?
Fed [463]
<span>Testosterone achieves his effect by binding to his androgen receptor (nuclear). Because testosterone is steroid hormone (derived from cholesterol), it has a possibility to free diffuse through the cell membrane. When testosterone binds, the receptor undergoes a structural change which allows it to move into the cell nucleus and dimerize. Receptor dimer than binds directly to the specific sequence of the DNA called hormone response element (HRE) which results in regulation of gene expression.</span>
