The answer is polygenic inheritance.
Many physical characters (traits) depend on many different factors, each of which is determined by different genes. This is called polygenic inheritance.


For example, the color of the skin in humans. The color of the skin results from the interactions of several factors determined by different pairs of genes:-Certain genes could affect the metabolism of skin melanocytes.-Other genes can determine the distribution of melanin in the thickness of the skin.-Some genes could determine the relative amounts of each of the two possible types of melanin.-Others may affect the production of certain hormones involved in the activity of melanocytes.

What is the process by which substances move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Diffusion

Explanation:

The process by which substances move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration is called diffusion.

For example:

Substance moves across a cell membrane without using the cell's energy tends to move away from the area where it is more concentrated.

It is known as passive transport.

It is the process in which substance without using the cellular energy tend to move down the concentration gradient.

It is also known as simple diffusion.

When perfume bottle is open particles spread in air due to difference in concentration from bottle to out side environment.

While,

In case of active transport substance move against the concentration gradient i.e to wards the area of higher concentration.

This process require energy.
