multiple choice 1 point
hair color, eye color, and body type are examples of what type of inheritance?
○ multiple alleles
○ polygenic inheritance
○ pair of genes
○ sex-linked genes

Explanation:

Hair color, eye color, and body type are traits controlled by the combined effect of many different genes, which defines polygenic inheritance. Multiple alleles involve a single gene with more than two variants, sex-linked genes are carried on sex chromosomes, and a single pair of genes controls simple Mendelian traits, none of which match these complex physical traits.

Answer:

C. polygenic inheritance
