Polygenic inheritance is determined by multiple Genes <span>located at different loci on different chromosomes.
Polygenic inheritance happens when an individual posses quantitative traits that become a variation compared to the parent's traits.
This phenomenon happens due to the combination of two or more genes that resulted in the characteristics that considered as the combination of both parents' characteristic.

Answer:
(C) The main predator of these fish is another species of fish on which alligators also prey.
Explanation:
The ecosystems are complex systems, and removing one species of them, always has a chain reaction and affects the population of the other species, be it in a positive or negative manner. In this case, the alligators prey upon fish, multiple different species. The alligators though have been removed from the ecosystem, thus the apex predator exists no more. This has opened up the top predator niche in the food chain in this particular ecosystem. The predatory fish species had no predators of its own, so its population increased, thus it needed more food, and that food was obtained by hunting the other fish species, resulting in a decline in the population of the other species of fish. Only when the carrying capacity is reached in the ecosystem for the predatory fish, the population of the other fish will stop declining.
Discovery In 1928 it was discovered by Frederick Griffith in an experiment generally known as transformation.
Experiment
In his experiment he considered two strains of <em>streptococus pneumonia,</em> one was R-type which was non-virulent and cause no disease in mice, other was virulent and S-type which cause disease and at last death of mice.
This experiment was comprised of four steps which are as follow:
Step 1: First he injected living strain of S into mice, after sometime mouce died.
Step 2: He injected living strain of R into mice, the mice alive as he did not got any disease.
Step 3: He injected heat killed strain of S into mice and mice remain alive.
Step 4: He mixed living R strain with heat killed S strain and then inject into mice. As a result the mice died.
Conclusion: It was found that genetic material from heat killed S stain were transferred to living R (non-virulent) strain, as a result R become virulent and cause the death of mice.
Carbon dioxide is transported in the blood in three ways: (i) dissolved in solution; (ii) buffered with water as carbonic acid; (iii) bound to proteins, particularly haemoglobin. Source: https://academic.oup.com/bjaed/article/5/6/207/331369
