Quantitative inheritance involves the interaction of a number of gene loci. The pattern of
Genetic transmission typical of quantitative inheritance is
A) a 9:3:3:1 ratio
B) typical of Mendelian inheritance
C) continuous variation of phenotypic expression
D) discontinuous distributions such as 3:1 ________.
E) usually a pattern that clearly reflects dominance and recessiveness

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quantitative inheritance results in continuous variation of phenotypic expression due to the additive effect of multiple genes, unlike Mendelian inheritance which shows distinct ratios.
