Pleiotropy vs Polygenic Inheritance
Description
This template contrasts pleiotropy, where a single gene controls multiple traits, using the example of a beta-globin gene mutation in sickle-cell anemia causing diseased red blood cells, vascular damage, and malaria resistance, with polygenic inheritance, where multiple genes control a single trait, illustrated by a bell curve of height variation across a population.
