Answer:

Polygenic inheritance

Explanation:

When multiple genes present at different loci on chromosomes regulate a single genetic trait, the trait is said to be polygenic and the inheritance is a polygenic inheritance. The phenotype of the individual is regulated by an allele of each gene in an additive manner. The sum total of phenotypic effects of each allele of all the genes determines the final phenotype of the individuals.

These traits not present in discrete contrasting pairs (such as tall and short) but exhibit quantitative variations. For example, skin color in humans is regulated by multiple genes and the phenotype of the individual ranges from very light to very dark with many intermediates in between.

<h2>False  </h2>

Explanation:

Alimentary canal components include mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine whereas liver is a component of the accessory digestive system

  • The liver has two large sections, called the right and the left lobes and the gallbladder sits under the liver, along with parts of the pancreas and intestines
  • The liver and these organs work together to digest, absorb, and process food
  • The liver's main role is to filter the blood coming from the digestive tract, before passing it to the rest of the body
  • The liver also detoxifies chemicals and metabolizes drugs
  • The liver secretes bile that ends up back in the intestines and also makes proteins important for blood clotting and other functions
