Julien Friedman · Answer 1

Answer: A) additive genes

Explanation:

Additive genes are contribution of two of more genes to generate a single phenotype which gives combine effect of the genes. It does not have any dominant factor. Example-color of eye

According to the question, Vinaya's height is a creation of additive genes because she has got her height through equal sum collection of 180 genes.

Other options are incorrect because dominant genes, recessive genes and non-additive genes do not create phenotype effect in which collaboration of genes have no domination or epistasis. Thus, the correct option is option (A).
