Answer:

this is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Main difference between the inheritance patterns for a dimpled chin and for height is that inheritance of dimpled chin is controlled by a single gene that has more than two alleles while height is a trait inherited with many genes.

I believe the answer is that a dimpled chin is controlled by a single gene with multiple alleles and height is controlled by many genes. Alleles are alternative forms of a gene, and they are responsible for differences in phenotypic expression of a given trait. A gene for which at least two alleles exist is said to be polymorphic.
