Question

which statement best describes human eye color?
○ an incompletely dominant trait that follows non-mendelian inheritance patterns
○ a polygenic trait that follows non-mendelian inheritance patterns
○ an incompletely dominant trait that follows mendelian inheritance patterns
○ a polygenic trait that follows mendelian inheritance patterns

Explanation:

Human eye color is determined by multiple genes (polygenic) and does not follow simple Mendelian inheritance (like single - gene dominant/recessive) as it involves the interaction of several genes and environmental factors to some extent, so it follows non - Mendelian inheritance patterns. Incomplete dominance is not the main inheritance pattern for eye color.

Answer:

B. a polygenic trait that follows non - Mendelian inheritance patterns
