NEET · Biology · STD 12 - 4. principal of inheritance and variation
What is the pattern of inheritance for polygenic trait?
- A Mendelian inheritance pattern
- B Non-mendelian inheritance pattern
- C Autosomal dominant pattern
- D X-linked recessive inheritance pattern
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Non-mendelian inheritance pattern
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Polygenic inheritance refers to the inheritance of a trait controlled by two or more genes. When human disorders are determined by mutation in the single gene then they are transmitted to the offspring as per Mendelian principle. Polygenic trait shows non-Mendelian inheritance pattern.
