The number of phenotypes produced for a given trait depends on how many genes control the trait. Anyhow, The distribution of phenotypes for a typical polygenic trait can often be expressed as a bell-shaped curve.
Many traits are controlled by two or more genes and are, therefore, called polygenic traits<span>. Each gene of a polygenic trait often has two or more alleles. As a result, one polygenic trait can have many possible genotypes and phenotypes.</span>
I think the answer is -
when the body experiences a drop in temperature it forces the water molecules to move faster in order to break the hydrogen bonds and release energy as heat.

Answer:
All their descendants will be heterozygous for the skin color, Bb, expressing blue skin.
Explanation:
<u>Available data</u>:
- Smurfette has light blue skin
- Her family is a "true bred" or "purebred" line.
- She married a boy who has light yellow skin
- blue skin is the dominant trait expressed by the B allele
- yellow skin is a recessive trait, expressed by the b allele
Cross: Smurfette x Husband
Parentals) BB x bb
Gametes) B B b b
Phenotypes) blue skin yellow skin

b Bb Bb
F1) 100% of the progeny will be heterozygous for the skin color, Bb
100% of the progeny will be blue-skinned.
Note: Although the progeny is blue-skinned, they are not true-bred anymore.
Answer:
external fertilization
Explanation:
External fertilization cannot happen on land since it needs a medium for the fertilization to be able to take place, but land cannot provide the medium.
