Question

Height in humans is a polygenic trait, where multiple genes contribute. Assume that 4 genes (Genes A, B, C, & D) all contribute to body height in humans and the dominant allele of each of these genes always results in a taller stature than the recessive allele. What is the order of the following genotypes of individuals that arranges them in order of increasing height? (Assume complete dominance for each gene) 1. aaBbCCdd 2. AABBccDd 3. aabbccdd 4. AaBbCcDd 5. aaBbccdd 4-1-2-5-3 5-3-4-1-2 3-5-1-2-4 5-4-3-2-1

Explanation / Answer

the order will be->3-5-1-2-4, depending upon the number of dominant allele present.
