Choose a trait that goes beyond mendel’s one trait inheritance. discuss the inheritance (ex. incomplete dominance, multiple allele, polygenic, pleiotrophy, linkage, environmental influences), the different phenotypes or anything else that deviates from simple genetics. mendel got lucky with the traits he chose in his pea plants. if he got more complicated traits and inheritance it would have made his findings almost impossible to come to. talk about how these traits would have made it hard for scientists like mendel to figure out inheritance the way he did

Height

Explanation:

Height is polygenic trait which means that is controlled by more than one gene. This is different than Mendelian genetics in which one gene controls one trait-monogenic trait (e.g. flower color). Expressed phenotype of polygenic trairs is mix of all genes that control it (each gene has the same influence on phenotype) and it can express range of possible phenotypes (not only tall ad short but alos something in between).

This type of inheritance is known as polygenic inheritance or quantitative inheritance.

Traits that are also polygenic are skin and hair color, intelligence etc.

transcription is a process in which information is rewritten. it is something our cells must do, in a more specialized and narrowly defined way. in biology, transcription is the process of copying out the dna sequence of a gene in the similar alphabet of rna. it needs to happen in the nucleus because that's where the dna is. dna is always inside the nucleus unless the cell is dividing.

transcription is the first step in gene expression, which involves copying a gene's dna sequence to make an rna molecule. transcription is performed by rna polymerases. it has three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. rna molecules must be processed after transcription in eukaryotes.

explanation:

long version:

the protein synthesis consists two processes which are, transcription and translation. transcription takes place in the nucleus. it uses dna as a template to make an rna molecule. rna then leaves the nucleus and goes to a ribosome in the cytoplasm, where translation occurs. transcription is the first part of the central dogma of molecular biology: dna → rna. it is the transfer of genetic instructions in dna to messenger rna (mrna). during transcription, a strand of mrna is made that is complementary to a strand of dna.  

these three stages are:

  initiation: in which   is the beginning of transcription.occuring when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

    elongation: in which is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

    termination: in which is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.

frogs. the lower the ph the higher the acid content. frogs have the highest tolerance in this scenario.
