What is the pattern of inheritance for polygenic trait?

  1. A
    Autosomal dominant pattern
  2. B
    X-linked recessive inheritance pattern
  3. C
    Mendelian inheritance pattern
  4. D
    Non-mendelian inheritance pattern
View written solutionFree

Correct answer: D

Polygenic inheritance refers to the inheritance of a trait controlled by two or more genes. When human disorders are determined by mutation in the single gene then they are transmitted to the offspring as per Mendelian principle. Polygenic trait shows non-Mendelian inheritance pattern.
