It isn't genome the definition of genome is a map of the location of individual genes on every chromosome of an individual. It's multiple alleles- having more than two alleles that control a trait.

PS- I got this information from my text book:)

When more than one pair of alleles controls a trait is called?

When more than one pair of alleles controls a trait, it is called polygenic inheritance. This means that multiple genes contribute to the expression of a trait, leading to a continuous range of variation rather than distinct categories. Examples of traits controlled by polygenic inheritance include height, skin color, and intelligence.

What are two alleles that are different for a trait?

They are known as a heterozygous pair


What are the two alleles that control the appearance of a trait?

Dominant and Recessive Alleles Diploid organisms typically have two alleles for a trait. When allele pairs are the same, they are homozygous. When the alleles of a pair are heterozygous, the phenotype of one trait may be dominant and the other recessive.

alleles


In humans a trait can be determined by one pair of many pairs of?

alleles.


What are both inherited alleles called?

Genetic makeup formed from both inherited alleles together is called a genotype. Homozygous alleles would be a pair of identical alleles for a single trait. Heterozygous is different alleles for a single trait.


What is the difference between a single gene and a polygenics trait?

A polygenic trait is a trait in which multiple sets of alleles are used to determine the trait, whereas in a single gene trait aka. a Mendelian trait, only one pair of alleles is used.


When two alleles in a pair are different?

When the alleles are different the organism is heterozygous for that trait. Another way of putting it is to say the genotype is heterozygous for that trait. The dominant allele will be seen in the phenotype ie what is displayed.Most traits are governed by more than one pair of alleles.
