Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polygenic traits involve the action of multiple genes, and are responsible for the clear majority of human behavioral traits. Discrete traits are determined by only one or a few genes, and are less likely to be responsible for complex behavioral traits. Heterozygous and homozygous refer to the genetics of an individual at a single gene locus, and do not relate to the overall complexity of behavioral traits.
