Polygenic inheritance is simply a form of inheritance whereby the trait of the individual or the animal is gotten from the cumulative effects of several genes. In such case, there are many genes which control the expression of the trait. This is quite different from the monogenic inheritance whereby the trait is as a result of the expression of just only one gene.

Since Pietro has two dogs that are related, and one of the dogs has tan fur and the other has brown fur, then this means there's more than one gene which is expressed in this case.

In conclusion, the answer to the question is polygenic inheritance.

Which variable is likely to undergo the largest change in value resulting from a mutation that introduces a new allele into a po
dsp73

Answer:

b. average heterozygosity

Explanation:

From the available options:

a. nucleotide variability

b. average heterozygosity

c. average number of loci

d. geographic variability

Nucleotide variability represents a form of genetic variation that occur as a result of difference in nucleotide sequence of deoxy ribonucleic acid.

The locus is a region on the chromosome where genes are located. Average number of locus thus refers to total number of loci per total number of individuals in a population.

Geographic variability refers to difference in genetic traits across the various geographical distribution of a population.

Average heterozygosity is the percentage or proportion of heterozygous individuals for a trait within a population. It is a common measure of genetic variation in a population.

When a mutation occur within a population and this leads to the introduction of a new allele at a locus for which some individuals within the population are homozygous, it will directly affect the average heterozygosity of the population because more individuals will lose their homozygosity and become heterozygous.

<em>The correct option is b.</em>

Imagine that a researcher is examining the positioning of synaptic clefts in a region of the nervous system of adult mice. In on
Setler [38]
This is likely a mutant mouse (as synaptic clefts are typically 10 to 20 nm wide). Given that neurotransmitters act over short distances, this mouse may demonstrate delayed responses to stimuli, or no responses at all.



That’s the answer

Plzz help!!'<br><br> in complete sentences, compare the circulatory system of a plant and an animal
bekas [8.4K]
Inside of plants, there are xylem cells that carry water and minerals from the roots, to the leaves, when the food then gets dispersed to the rest of the plant. This is similar to the human circulatory system but there isn't a heart pumping blood around. Hope this helps :)
