Skin color is a polygenic trait. A polygenic trait is one that is controlled by multiple genes. Each gene for skin color deposits no pigment, some pigment, or lots of pigment. The additive effect of the deposited pigment from each gene for skin color results in a whole spectrum (continuum) of color. Also, skin color is affected by the environment, which further increases the variation in human skin color.
What else can I help you with?
Is human skin colour continuous or discontinuous variation?
Natural eye colour is discontinuous. :) !
How cam human be an adjective in a sentence?

What is an example for polygenic traits in humans?
Haha wow biology test questions on answers.com. MATURE! Look at the information in your packets. My friend looked up a question and this came up and it is the exact same question in the packet. Nice.
Why Several genes control human eye color. Because of this eye color shows a continuous variation from very dark brown to green to blue. What is this an example of?
Eye color is not an example of polygenetic traits. Skin color is. Eye color is rather simple as far as genetics go (in humans). Brown (B) is dominate and blue (b) is recessive. A person with blue eyes has to have to have both genes for the color blue (bb). A person with brown eye color can has both genes for brown (BB) or one for brown and one for blue (Bb). The blue is not expressed in this case with Bb. Some people have hazel eyes but this is a variation of the blue color.
What does physical variation mean?
Physical variation refers to the differences in physical characteristics that exist within a population or species. These variations can include traits such as height, weight, skin color, facial features, and body shape, and are influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and developmental factors. Embracing and celebrating physical variation is important for promoting diversity and understanding the complexity of human biology.
Variation of human skin color is an example of?
polygenic traits
What is the variation in human skin color an example of?
This is a typical kind of continuous variation which is controlled by polygenes.
What is variation in human skin a result of?
polygenic inheritance
What is human skin an example of?
Human skin is an example of an organ because it provides protection for the rest of our body.
Skin color in humans caused by several genes at several loci is an example of what multiple alleles at one locus incomplete dominance epostasis or polygenic inheritance?
Polygenic inheritance. Skin color in humans is controlled by multiple genes at different loci, each contributing to the overall variation in skin pigmentation. This leads to a wide range of skin colors observed in human populations.
What is an example of skin color discrimination?
An example of skin color discrimination, better known as racism, would be firing an employee because of their skin color or not promoting them in a company because of their skin color.
Is human skin colour continuous or discontinuous variation?
Natural eye colour is discontinuous. :) !
What color was the skin of the first human being on earth?
The color of the skin of the first human being on earth is not definitively known.
What is the variation within the human population?
Variation within the human population refers to the differences in traits such as height, skin color, and blood type that exist among individuals. This variation is influenced by genetic factors, environmental factors, and interactions between the two. It is what allows humans to adapt to different environments and thrive in diverse conditions.
Which of the following is an example of multiple allele heredity A seed texture B skin color in frogs C color patterns in andalusian fowl D human blood types?
Human blood types
Is skin an example of a polygenetic trait in humans?
