How do we know that height in humans is a polygenic trait?

Biology

Elena-2011 [213]3 years ago
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.

The epiglottis is pushed downward and the larynx is lifted up to meet it when we swallow. True False
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The correct answer is true.

Explanation:

Swallowing of food is the process of passing the food from the mouth to the stomach through the way of the throat (pharynx) and esophagus. This process takes place in three stages:  oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal stages  

During the pharyngeal stage, epiglottis which is a leaf-shaped flap of cartilage located at top of the larynx (a muscular organ forming voice box) perform functions in response to the swallowed food as the larynx lift up or rises inside the neck to close the epiglottis while the epiglottis moves downward to cover it, providing more airway protection.

Thus, true is the correct answer.

What situation might develop in a population having some plants whose flowers open at midday and other plants whose flowers open
Kay [80]

Complete question: What situation might develop in a population having some plants whose flowers open at midday and other plants whose flowers open late in the day?

a. Temporal isolation

b. Geographic isolation

c. Behavioral isolation

d. Genetic drift

Answer:

a. Temporal isolation

Explanation:

Temporal isolation is one of several mechanisms of reproductive isolation. Temporal isolation occurs when some organisms of a population exhibit different timing of reproductive maturity. It also occurs when some members of a population reproduce at a different time from the others. This does not allow interbreeding between them.

When plants of a population open flower at a different time of day, cross-pollination would not occur between these plants. This represents temporal isolation.
