The inheritance pattern of a gene over generations among humans is studied by the pedigree analysis. Character studied in the pedigree analysis is equivalent to

A

Quantitative trait

B

Mendelian trait

C

Polygenic trait

D

Maternal trait

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Character studied in the pedigree analysis is equivalent to Mendelian trait.
= Quantitative traits are those continuous traits which are often measured and given a quantitative value, e.g. weight of animal, crop yield, and etc.
= Polygenic traits are the traits controlled by more than one gene.(eg.- human height)
= Maternal traits are the traits inherited and expressed from maternal parent to the subsequent offspringdue to genetic variants of the mitochondria or chloroplast, which are generally transmitted via oocyte.
