Q.162) What is the pattern of inheritance for a polygenic trait?
A) X-linked recessive inheritance pattern
B) Mendelian inheritance pattern
C) Non-Mendelian inheritance pattern
D) Autosomal dominant pattern
Answers (1)
Q.162) Polygenic traits are controlled by multiple genes (polygenes), each contributing a small additive effect. This results in continuous variation in traits such as height, skin colour, or eye colour in humans. Since more than one gene is involved and the inheritance does not follow a simple dominant-recessive pattern, this is categorized as Non-Mendelian inheritance.
Hence, the correct answer is Option(3).
