Patterns of inheritance in humans are more complex than in peas or fruit flies due to factors such as multiple alleles, incomplete dominance, co-dominance, polygenic traits, and environmental influences. In addition, ethical considerations limit the ability to conduct controlled breeding experiments in humans as can be done with plants and animals in a laboratory setting. This complexity makes it challenging to isolate and study specific genetic traits in human populations.
