Answer:

option B: Polygenic inheritance

Explanation:

Polygenic inheritance in genetics and plant breeding can be defined as a type of inheritance whereby  one or a single trait or  characteristics(color)  is controlled by multiple genes (two or more genes). it is a continuous variation that depicts a normal distribution curve

the phenotype of a plant or an animal increases if when there is an increase in the number of genes controlling a particular trait or characteristics. polygenic inheritance are non-Mendelian form of inheritance in  nature and a  single trait expressed is as a result of the interaction of many or multiple genes that are quantitative genes in nature. examples are weight, skin color, height, e.t.c

Polygenic inheritance generates a continuum (spectrum) of variable phenotypes.

In polygenic inheritance, polygenic characters are recognized by being expressed as graduations of small differences (a continuous variation).

  • For many characteristics such as skin color there are more than two or three phenotypes.

  • There may be one or more genes that contribute in an equivalent way to the trait (for example, almost equal amounts of pigment in the skin), a situation that is called polygenic inheritance.

Therefore, we can conclude that polygenic inheritance is the expression of characteristics influenced by various genes and the action of the environment.
