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.


How does the range of phenotype differ between single-gene traits and polygenic traits?

Single gene traits are either one type or another,for example everyone is either (ABO System) group A,B AB or O with no intermediates - this shows discontinuous variation. In polgyenic traits, continuous variation is shown and there is a range with no discrete categories - height
