In polygenic inheritance, each of the genes controlling a trait will have exactly the same influence over the trait.

No since different genes will exert varying degrees of influence on the trait

Yes since all genes having to do with a trait always have the exact same influence on a trait.

None of the other responses are satisfactory answers.

No since all traits are only controlled by one gene with two alleles.

Given their modes of inheritance, and assuming Mendelian inheritance, if a heterozygote carrier for BRCA1 (autosomal dominant) and TP53 (autosomal recessive) mated with another heterozygote carrier for BRCA1 and TP53, what is the probability of them having a child that has breast cancer, but doesnât have adrenal cortical carcinoma?
