Yes. Those types of genes are called polygenic traits.

Does one gene control many traits or do many genes control one trait?
The answer is simple, genes are inherited and traits are your own uniqueness, genes will have an influence on your traits, so if you are a loud person, that will be one of your traits, and if a parent is a loud person, you will have most likely inherited that gene from them, so the answer is one gene controls many traits because the gene was there first
Define and distinguish between pleiotropy and polygenic inheritance?
Pleiotropy: one gene affects many traits (phenotypes) Polygenic: many genes affect one trait (phenotype)
What is trait called when it is controlled by more than one gene?
Polygenic Traits
What describes a Mendelian traits?
Mendelian traits are:simple single traits controlled entirely by one genecaused by a gene with simple dominant and recessive allele formsA Mendelian trait would not involve more than one gene, nor would it involve genes with more than two allele forms.
How do you find possible phenotypes of offspring?
Mendel Diagrams. If the offspring gets a dominate gene from both parents, the offspring will exhibit traits from the dominate gene. If the offspring gets a dominate gene from one parent and a recessive gene from another, the offspring will exhibit traits from the dominate gene. If the offspring get a recessive gene from both parents, the offspring will exhibit traits from the recessive gene.
Can one gene influence traits?
Yes

What is the difference between single-gene traits and complex traits?
Single gene diseases only effect one typeof gene where im a complex genetic disease many genes are effected. An example of a single gene diseas is sickle cell anemia. Cancer would be an eexample of a complex gene disease.
Are your traits always determined by just one gene?
no
What are traits called that are controlled by more than one gene?
They are called Polygenic Traits.
How many genes are needed to represent a trait?
It depends on the trait. Some traits exhibit simple Mendelian heredity, being governed by only one gene. However, many traits are governed by more than one gene, which is called polygenic inheritance.
What does pleiotropy mean?
Pleiotropy occurs when one gene influences multiple, seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits (those you see). A series of defects that affect multiple systems but is caused by one defective gene.
What are three exception to Mendel's observation?
1.incomplete dominance 2. partial dominance 3.multiple alleles
Sometimes one gene can influence more than one what?
Trait.
Sometimes one gene can influence more than one?
trait :)
Traits that are typically expressed even if an offspring inherits just one copy of a gene for the trait are called what traits?
Dominant trait due to doominant gene (as against recessive trait)
How do traits get inherited?
Through genetics, you have two alleles(different versions for a gene) for each gene, one from each parent
