Question

part a
height in humans generally shows a normal (bell - shaped) distribution. what type of inheritance most likely determines height?
view available hint(s)
a combination of epistasis and environmental factors
a combination of complete dominance and environmental factors
a combination of multiple alleles and codominance
a combination of polygenic inheritance and environmental factors
incomplete dominance

Explanation:

Human height has a normal distribution, indicating polygenic inheritance (multiple genes contribute) and is also influenced by environmental factors like nutrition. Epistasis, multiple alleles, or incomplete dominance don't fit the normal distribution pattern of height. Complete dominance is for single-gene traits. So the correct option is the one with polygenic inheritance and environmental factors.

Answer:

a combination of polygenic inheritance and environmental factors
