What is gene inheritance in terms of dominant, recessive, sex-linked, and polygenic traits? What are examples of selective breeding? Give an example of a trait shared by members of an ingroup that is not shared by the outgroup? State the trait, the ingroup and the outgroup. This can be...
What are polygenic traits? What is a Mendelian trait? What is the major difference between a genotype and a phenotype? Define the term phenotype as used in genetics. What do the words phenotype and genotype mean? How is a phenotype determined?
In pleiotropy, one gene controls the expression of several phenotypic traits.Phenotypesare traits that are physically expressed such as color, body shape, and height. It is often difficult to detect which traits may be the result of pleitoropy unless amutationoccurs in a gene. Because pleiotropic...

Traits that display a continuous distribution, such as height or skin color, arepolygenic. The inheritance of polygenic traits does not show the phenotypic ratios characteristic of Mendelian inheritance, though each of the genes contributing to the trait is inherited as described by Gregor Mendel. ...
Polygenicinheritance refers to traits determined by more than one gene. The many alleles that contribute to traits like human height are not in one set place. Different alleles can be closely linked on chromosomes, unlinked on chromosomes or even be on different chromosomes and still influence ...
There are many alternative and complementary treatments that tout effectiveness for treating ADHD. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns many of these have been proven neither safe nor effective.6 Examples of alternative or complementary treatments f...

Given the breadth of the literature on this topic, only representative examples are discussed below. The age of onset and the duration of diet are important parameters when studying the metabolic syndrome in rodents. For example, in the most commonly used obesity-prone mouse strain C57BL/6J, ...
However, existing GWAS have focused exclusively on AN in individuals with low BMIs, leaving individuals with EDs in larger bodies unstudied (although such studies are underway). Second, applying polygenic risk scores (PRS) in biobank data demonstrates that AN-PRS are associated with weight loss, ...
