AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Text Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the type of inheritance that results in multiple phenotypes. Phenotypes refer to the observable characteristics of an organism. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A: Dominance relationship** - This refers to a situation where one allele masks the effect of another allele. It typically results in a single phenotype being expressed, not multiple. - **Option B: Particulate inheritance** - This concept involves the inheritance of discrete traits that do not blend. It does not inherently lead to multiple phenotypes. - **Option C: Monogenic inheritance** - This type of inheritance involves a single gene controlling a trait, leading to a limited number of phenotypes, typically one or two. - **Option D: Polygenic inheritance** - This involves multiple genes contributing to a single trait, resulting in a wide range of phenotypes. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: Based on the analysis, polygenic inheritance (Option D) is the correct answer because it involves multiple genes and leads to a variety of phenotypes. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer to the question "Multiple phenotype is seen in?" is **Option D: Polygenic inheritance**.
