Do Now 3.5 Week 27 Objectives: Define polygenic trait and pleiotropy. Review chromosomes and cell division Task: Pass forward the FLYLABS! And last week’s Do Nows. A banana plant is 3n = 33. How many different types of chromosomes are present in each cell?
Polygenic Trait: A trait controlled by multiple genes • Traits which display a large variation or range of phenotypes are often polygenic. Human skin tone, for example is controlled by 6 different genes
Pleiotropy: One gene produces many different effects or phenotypes
