Question 35 • Biology

Which statement best describes human eye color?

Answer
A
a polygenic trait that follows Mendelian inheritance patterns
B
an incompletely dominant trait that follows Mendelian inheritance patterns
C
an incompletely dominant trait that follows non-Mendelian inheritance patterns
D
a polygenic trait that follows non-Mendelian inheritance patterns

Explanation

Human eye color is influenced by multiple genes, so it is a polygenic trait rather than a trait controlled by one gene with simple dominant and recessive alleles. Because its inheritance does not follow a simple Mendelian pattern, the best choice is “a polygenic trait that follows non-Mendelian inheritance patterns.”
