Inheritance of stature (height)in humans is probably due to ________.
A) polymorphism
B) polygene inheritance
C) incomplete dominance
D) polyploidy

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stature/heigh is a quantitative trait controlled by multiple genes, which is known as polygene inheritance. There is no evidence of polymorphism (variation within a single gene) or incomplete dominance (blending of alleles) playing a major role in determining human stature. Polyploidy, on the other hand, is a rare genetic condition where an organism has more than two complete sets of chromosomes, which is not relevant to the inheritance of stature in humans.
