Question

What is the pattern of inheritance for polygenic trait?

विकल्प

• Mendelian inheritance pattern

• Non-mendelian inheritance pattern

• Autosomal dominant pattern

• X-linked recessive inheritance pattern

Answer 1

Non-mendelian inheritance pattern

Explanation:

Multiple genes, each with a minor additive effect, govern polygenic features. These characteristics (such as height and skin tone) do not follow Mendel’s basic dominant-recessive patterns. Rather, their heredity is non-Mendelian, and they exhibit constant change.
