Both are subject to the same Mendelian Mechanisms: Law of Segregation and Independent Assortment 2. Affected by dominance and epistasis 3. Principles of selection and mating apply to both - Attempt to increase frequency of desirable alleles (More difficult to do with polygenic traits) Function of the Number of genes involved Correct Answer: - The more genes involved, the more DIFFICULT it is to observe the effects of individual genes, and therefore the less specific info we have about those genes - When a few or one gene affects a trait, the effects of those genes are well understood (Exact genotype may not be known, [Show More]
