Certain phenotypes in human population are SQPread over a gradient and reflect the contribution of more than two genes. Mention the term used for the type of inheritance? Describe it with the help of an example in human population. |

Answer» Polygenic inheritance • If we assume skin colour is controlled by three genes A, B, C • Dominant forms (A,B,C) are reSQPonsible for dark skin colour and recessive form (a, b, c) for light skin colour • The genotype with all dominant alleles (AABBCC) will be darkest skin colour and with recessive alleles will be light test skin colour (aabbcc) • The genotypes (AaBbCc) will be of intermediate skin colour i.e. with three dominant alleles and three recessive alleles |
