A certain plant has a color that can range from green to yellow. Some plants are very green and some are very yellow but most are in-between. What is most likely true about this trait?
Several different genes control height
What type of gene is a master control gene that directs development of body parts in specific locations in many organisms?
There are several:Master control genes or homeotic genesHox genes (from an abbreviation of homeobox)
What is the term that refers to the determination of a given trait that is a result of the interaction of many genes?
"Polygenic" is the term that refers to the determination of a given trait that is a result of the interaction of many genes. Traits such as height, skin, color are polygenic. Polygenic traits do not show the phenotypic ration that charecterizes Mendelian Inheritance eventhough the trait is inherited as stated by Gregor Mendel. Many Polygenic traits are often influenced by the environmental factors.
What type of traits are there?
There are two traits dominate (which is more likely to appear because there are more genes towards the dominate trait and there is a weaker trait which is called recessive which can happen but is rare and not likely.
What type's of traits exist?
Cardinal trait Central trait Secondary trait.

What Type AB blood having 2 genes dominant for a trait is an example for?
codominance

How many genes for a trait?
A trait is any gene-determined characteristic and is usually determined by more than one gene, therefore the exact amount depends on the specific gene. However, the number of genes in the genome varies from species to species. More complex organisms tend to have more genes. Estimates of the number of human genes, by contrast, range from 25,000 to 30,000.

When the trait has more two alleles how is the trait inherited?
One parent has a recessive trait. For example: One parent has blood type AB, the other has blood type OO.
What is a trait called when it is controlled by more than gene?
