Question

The diagram shows the results when two parents are

crossed. The letters represent alleles for a trait that is
controlled by three different genes.
Which best describes this inheritance pattern?
multiple allele because a trait is controlled by three different genes
polygenic because the offspring have alleles from both parents
multiple allele because the offspring have alleles from
both parents
polygenic because a trait is controlled by three different
genes

Answer 1

Polygenic because a trait is controlled by three different genes

Step-by-step explanation:

got 100%

Answer 2

Polygenic because a trait is controlled by three different genes

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given question, the diagram of the question is not found anywhere therefore the question has been answered based on previous knowledge.

The traits of an organism are determined by the sequences of nucleotide present on the DNA called genes. One gene-one protein hypothesis suggests that usually one trait is determined by 2 alleles of a gene but there are few traits which are either determined or influenced by more than one gene.

These traits are known as the polygenic trait as the traits are controlled by more than one or "poly (many) genes" like human eye color, height, and others.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
