If you are talking about two different traits (lets say skin color, caucasian and African American) combining to make a "middle" color (golden tan), it would have to do with incomplete dominance. The traits appearances are not dominant over each other so neither are fully expressed. Some examples of incomplete dominance are: skin color, hair body (curly, wavy, straight), and height in humans. Another type of blending of traits has to do with co-dominance. Co-dominance is the expression of both dominant traits creating a splochy appearance of both traits. Do not confuse this with freckles which is a different trait on its own.

What is id polygenic inheritance?
Polygenic inheritance is when a group of gene pairs act together to produce a trait.
What is the inheritance pattern of a trait controlled by many genes like skin color?
Multiple gene inheritance. Sree
When one gene controls two or more phenotypic traits?
polygenic inheritance
What is Unit of inheritance present on the chromosome is called?
The unit of heredity found on a chromosome is called a gene.
Which type of inheritance involves traits linked to a sex chromosome?
It is called sex-linked inheritance. If the sex-linked gene is on the X sex chromosome, it is often called X-linked inheritance.
A unit of inheritance is a?
a gene.
Principle that states that the inheritance of a gene for one trait does not affect the inheritance of the gene for another trait?
Principle of independent assortment
Shows the pattern of gene inheritance in a family?
pedigree
What shows the pattern of gene inheritance in a family?
Pedigree
What is id polygenic inheritance?
Polygenic inheritance is when a group of gene pairs act together to produce a trait.
A unit of inheritance usually at a specific location on a chromosome?
Gene.
What is the opposite of independent assortment?
Linked gene inheritance. In humans, it is called x-linked inheritance; sex-linked inheritance is when the trait is carried on the X chromosome.
What is the inheritance pattern of a trait controlled by many genes like skin color?
Multiple gene inheritance. Sree
What is an example of dominant inheritance?
Dominant Inheritance is when one parent has a dominant gene and the other has a recessive gene. The dominant gene overpowers the recessive gene, and only the dominant gene is phenotypically expressed.Source: http://www.accessexcellence.org/RC/VL/GG/recessive.phpSome examples are variegate porphyria, Huntington's disease and myotonic dystrophy.source: http://genome.wellcome.ac.uk/doc_WTD020849.html
Which gene produces albino?
biological inheritance of genetically recessive alleles (genes)
Who formulated the concepts of gene and inheritance patterns?
Gregor Mendel
When one gene controls two or more phenotypic traits?
polygenic inheritance
