Question
you tell your teacher that your brown eyes are due to the dominant genes you inherited from your parents. however, your teacher informs you that rather than a single dominant genes determining your eye color, it is more likely that multiple genes are involved. what your teacher is describing is the concept of
o interference.
o polygenics.
o cohort effects.
o longitudinality.
Polygencs refers to the determination of a particular phenotypic characteristic (such as eye color) by many genes (poly = many). The other options - interference (related to gene mapping), cohort effects (related to group - based differences), and longitudinality (related to long - term studies) - do not fit the description of multiple genes determining a trait.
