1. A trait with high heritability is mostly the result of environmental factors (e.g. diet, malnutrition). True False 2. The genotype of an individual who has two dominant alleles of the same gene is called "heterozygous". True False 3. Most human traits are the result of the actions of multiple genes, and are described as: a. pleiotropic b. monogenic c. polygenic d. genotypic e. none of the above

If a homozygote dominant individual mates with a homozygote recessive individual, what would be the possible genotype(s) of the offspring? a) ratio of 1 homozygote dominant: 2 heterozygote: 1 homozygote recessive b) homozygote dominant c) homozygote recessive d) heterozygote

Choose true or false for the following statements: Polygenic inheritance involves traits controlled by more than one gene. A quantitative trait locus (QTL) can only contain one gene. A Punnett square cannot be used to analyze quantitative traits. Quantitative traits are controlled by both genes and the environment. All polygenic traits are quantitative traits. For quantitative traits, genotypes have distinct non-overlapping phenotypes.
Which of the following is the strongest evidence that a trait might be influenced by polygenic inheritance? a. $F_{1}$ offspring of parents with different phenotypes have an intermediate phenotype. b. $\mathrm{F}_{1}$ offspring of parents with different phenotypes have the dominant phenotype c. The trait shows qualitative (discrete) variation. d. The trait shows quantitative variation.
