13 - COMPLEX TRAIT (QUANTITATIVE) GENETICS Flashcards
1
Q
example of the tobacco flower explaining why it is a bell shaped curve
A
if you have the punnet square of the cross of ALBLASBS x ALBLASBS you see that there are mostly flowers of medium height, with a few at the extremes and there is a bell curve shaped graph
