Height,weight,and Eye Color are Examples of Phenotypes That Illustrate

Question

Height,weight,and eye color are examples of phenotypes that illustrate  
A) codominance.
B) continuous variation.
C) pleiotropy.
D) incomplete dominance.
E) multiple allele systems.

Accepted Answer

Height and weight can vary continuously within a population, rather than being determined by discrete categories or distinct traits. Eye color is also determined by multiple genes and can show a range of shades, demonstrating continuous variation. Codominance, incomplete dominance, pleiotropy, and multiple allele systems are all genetic concepts that relate to how alleles interact and determine particular traits, but they do not directly relate to the continuous variation of phenotypes.
