Continuous inheritance is often related to the term quantitative inheritance. Why?

What will be an ideal response?


In continuous inheritance, we consider each involved locus as having a quantitative input on the production of a single characteristic of the phenotype. In addition, although it may not always be the case, we would consider each gene product to be qualitatively similar.

Consider the genes IGF2 and H19 and the imprinting control region (ICR) between them. If the paternal ICR region was mutated in such a way that it could not be methylated but the maternal ICR was not mutated, how would that effect growth? In your

explanation describe the expression of IGF2 and H19 from both the maternal and paternal alleles. What will be an ideal response?
