height in humans is a polygenic trait with a distribution similar to the graph shown. which is true concerning the distribution of height in human population?

Question

most individuals will be above average height.
most individuals will be of average height.
most individuals will be below average height.
most individuals will be at the extremes of height

Answer 1

In a polygenic trait such as height, the distribution typically follows a bell-shaped curve (normal distribution). In this kind of distribution, most individuals will cluster around the average height, with fewer individuals at both extremes (very short and very tall).

Therefore, the statement that is true concerning the distribution of height in the human population is:

Most individuals will be of average height.
