Choose a trait that goes beyond mendel’s one trait inheritance. discuss the inheritance (ex. incomplete dominance, multiple allele, polygenic, pleiotrophy, linkage, environmental influences), the different phenotypes or anything else that deviates from simple genetics. mendel got lucky with the traits he chose in his pea plants. if he got more complicated traits and inheritance it would have made his findings almost impossible to come to. talk about how these traits would have made it hard for scientists like mendel to figure out inheritance the way he did

Height

Explanation:

Height is polygenic trait which means that is controlled by more than one gene. This is different than Mendelian genetics in which one gene controls one trait-monogenic trait (e.g. flower color). Expressed phenotype of polygenic trairs is mix of all genes that control it (each gene has the same influence on phenotype) and it can express range of possible phenotypes (not only tall ad short but alos something in between).

This type of inheritance is known as polygenic inheritance or quantitative inheritance.

Traits that are also polygenic are skin and hair color, intelligence etc.
