The correct answer is B. Multiple allele means more than two forms of the same gene in the population and polygenic inheritance means more than one gene contributes to the phenotype of a trait.

Polygenic inheritance ia type of inheritance pattern of any trait are being controlled by two or more genes which can be on the same chromosome or different chromosomes. In multiple allele inheritance the traits are controlled by more than two alleles. The polygenic inheritance has a major distinction with the Mendelian inheritance in which the traits are being determined by a single gene. The polygenic traits can have several possible phenotypes which are determined as a result of interaction between several alleles. The multiple alleles are present when the particular gene has more than two types of alleles. An example for multiple alleles can be the blood group type of the humans where a single gene controls the blood type an individual can have i.e. A, B or O allele.

In a certain species of plant, flowers occur in three colors: blue, pink, and white. A pure-breeding pink plant is mated with a
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: If the F2 occurs in the ratio 9 blue:3 pink:4 white, one gene pair (i.e 2 genes) control the flower color phenotype.

Explanation: This principle is called INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE where one gene (dominant) won't completely override the other (recessive).

Let assume B represents the dominant gene and b represents the reccesive gene. Let also assume that Blue color is dominant over white color. We can assign the genotype as follows;

Homozygous dominant genes BB will produce Blue color

Homozygous recessive genes bb will produce white color

Heterozygous genes Bb will produce pink color.

Therefore, a pair of gene ( 2 genes) will determine the flower color phenotype.

What is an ectothermic vertebrate?
mixer [17]

Answer:

And so, an endothermic vertebrate is an animal that can produce its own heat and possesses a spinal backbone consisting of vertebrae. Examples of these organisms include most mammals (including humans), most birds, and some reptiles.

Explanation:

Ectothermic vertebrates are, for example, fish, amphibians and reptiles. Their temperature depends on the environment. The contrary to ectothermic are endothermic vertebrates, such as birds or mammals
