4 0
We know that height in humans is a polygenic trait because it has a lot of variation. The height gene is controlled by at minimum three genes with six different alleles. If all of these alleles are dominant for the tall gene you will be tall if you are dominant for the short gene you will be short if there is no clear dominance between the two genes you will fall somewhere  in the middle.

djverab [1.8K]

The nutrient is phosphorus

<h3>The phosphorus cycle</h3>

Phosphorus cycles between living components of the earth (biosphere) and the soil (geosphere).

The element's reservoir is mainly the sediments of the ocean and rocks. Phosphorus gets into the soil by weathering of rocks.

Plants are able to pick the element up from the soil and animals are able to get their phosphorus by consuming plants.

When plants and animal die, their body decomposes and the phosphorus in them enters the soil.

Thus, the cycle being referred to in the illustration is the phosphorus cycle.
