Actually a large number of traits are polygenic. The greater the variation observed in a population the more modifiers are present.

Variation in human skin color is an example of what?
Skin color is a polygenic trait. A polygenic trait is one that is controlled by multiple genes. Each gene for skin color deposits no pigment, some pigment, or lots of pigment. The additive effect of the deposited pigment from each gene for skin color results in a whole spectrum (continuum) of color. Also, skin color is affected by the environment, which further increases the variation in human skin color.
What kind of trait is present when many different genes control a single trait such as skin color?
polygenic
What kind of trait is present when many different genes control a single trait as a skin color?
polygenic
How many genes determine an inherited trait?
Hello there! Traits controlled by two or more genes are for example skin color and height.
What is a trait or genetic disorder caused by Polygenic inheritance?
A polygenic trait is a trait which multiple genes affect. An example would be skin color, the combined affects of several genes determine your base pigment shade. Polygenic traits are caused by a combination of genes.
What is is a polygenetic trait?
A collection of paired genes is responsible for a polygenetic trait. Height, skin colour etc. are examples.
What kind of gene is present when many different genes control a single trait such as skin color?
polygenic
Is skin color a quantitative trait?
Skin color is considered a quantitative trait because it is controlled by multiple genes and influenced by environmental factors, resulting in a wide range of variation. This variation is continuous, rather than being determined by a single gene with distinct categories. Quantitative traits typically show a spectrum of phenotypes rather than discrete categories.
Is skin color and inherited trait?
Boa Snakes inherited their color of skin from parents
What is the interactive nature of polygenic genes?
Polygenic inheritance occurs when one characteristic is controlled by two or more genes. Often the genes are large in quantity but small in effect. Examples of human polygenic inheritance are height, skin color, eye color and weight. Polygenes exist in other organisms, as well.
What are the characteristics of polygenic traits?
Polygenic means that multiple genes created the same trait. The skin color gene is polygenic because multiple genes will give you the same trait.
What are some polygenic traits?
Eye color, skin color... etc.
