Question

Which is NOT a characteristic of a simple inherited trait: Select one: a. Influenced by the environment b. Monogenic c. Dichotomous distribution d. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: Option C) Dichotomous distribution

Explanation:

A simple inherited trait can be

- influenced by environment

- monogenic i.e controlled by one gene

For example, an individual can inherit the trait of dark colour from parent where dark is completely dominant over other skin color

However, a simple inherited trait can not express dichotomous distribution, because

dichotomous distribution involves the control of a trait by two different genes.

Thus, Dichotomous distribution is the answer.
