Question

pietro has two dogs that are related, and he wants to understand why one of the dogs has tan fur and the other has brown fur. which pattern of inheritance would explain the different fur color in the related dogs?
○ polygenic inheritance
○ codominance
○ incomplete dominance
○ quantitative inheritance

Explanation:

Polygenic inheritance involves multiple genes influencing a trait. Fur color in dogs is often determined by multiple genes, leading to a range of colors like tan and brown. Incomplete dominance would result in a blend of traits, codominance in both traits being expressed simultaneously, and quantitative inheritance is more about traits with a continuous range often related to measurement. Polygenic inheritance best explains different fur - colors influenced by multiple genes.

Answer:

polygenic inheritance
