In a species of rat height is a polygenic trait. what does it mean for this trait to be polygenic?
Usually, traits are polygenic when there is wide variation in the trait. For example, humans can be of many different sizes. Height is a polygenic trait, controlled by at least three genes with six alleles. If you are dominant for all of the alleles for height, then you will be very tall.

What is one difference between single gene trait and a polygenic trait?
Polygenic traits result in more variation because so many more alleles are involved in the process of reproduction.
What is a trait said to be when several genes influence it?
the answer is polygenic
How does the range of phenotypes for single gene traits different from the range for polygenic traits?
ABO Single gene trait blood group alleles on humans. That is the variation, not much, and not much recombination. 3! = 6. There is posited to be at least 7 alleles for height, which is a polygenic trait. Hypothetical alleles, SMYDKECV 7! = 5040 different combinations of alleles in height polygenic traits.
What is a polygenic trait-?
In genetics, a polygenic trait is a distinguishing characteristic or quality for which the phenotype (appearance) depends on alleles in multiple genes.
