The Genetic traits of humans are mostly classified by either complex or monogenic. Complex traits from a grouping of environmental factors such as choices of lifestyle about exercise and diet. Many genes with interacting, multiple, and effects frequently influence the complex traits.

Solution Summary: The author explains that the genetic traits of humans are classified by complex or monogenic traits. Complex traits include circadian rhythms, human height, milk production, egg numbers, grain yield, enzyme kinetics

Question

Features of a Concept Features of a Concept Characteristics are discrete; that is, they are unitary. Genetic features have alternative forms, and each feature is inherited from one of the two parents. These are called alleles. One allele is dominant over the other allele. The dominant allele is reflected in the phenotype. Random segregation creates the gametes. The heterozygotic individuals produce gametes with an equal frequency of both alleles. Genes are unlinked; that is, different traits arise from the independent assortment.
