B)multiple alleles.
C)polygenic inheritance.
D)incomplete dominance.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polygenic inheritance involves the interaction of multiple genes in the expression of a single trait. This results in a wide range of possible phenotypes and is seen in traits such as height, skin color, and eye color. Codominance involves the simultaneous expression of both alleles in a heterozygous individual, multiple alleles refer to the existence of more than two versions of a gene in a population, and incomplete dominance results in a phenotype that is intermediate between the two homozygous genotypes.
