Question

Why do polygenic traits, such as height or skin color, typically show a bell-shaped distribution in a population?

The phenotype is determined by a single dominant allele.

Multiple genes interact, creating a continuous range of phenotypes.

Environmental factors have no impact on polygenic traits.

Recessive alleles mask the effects of dominant alleles, resulting in few variations.
