Answer: Polygenic inheritance
Explanation:
Polygenic inheritance is a phenomenon that explains how a character like skin color show a range of more or less continuous variation due to many genes controlling it. And this is unlike Mendel traits that are controlled by single genes.
So, skin color in an individual is expressed as red hair and pale skin.
C. The associates proteins are histones
Answer:
D (Genotype)
Explanation:
A genotype is the genetic make up of an organism i.e. what the genetic material
of an organism constitutes. Genotype describes the set of genes contained in an organism's genome. According to Mendel, an organism receives two forms of genes called ALLELE for a trait, one from each parent. The genotype of a specific gene coding for a trait is represented by each pair of allele for that trait.
Although the genotype of an organism is outwardly invisible i.e. cannot be seen, but it determines the phenotype of that organism i.e. the outward appearance. For example, if a plant receives T and T alleles coding for tallness, from each parent. The genotype of that plant for the specific height trait will be (TT). Hence, the TT genotype although invisible but controls the tallness of the plant.
