what do we call factors that control traits
the plant has 2 factors for each possible trait one for each parent
A physical trait of an organism is called a phenotypic trait. It refers to any observable characteristic or feature of an organism's physical appearance or behavior. Phenotypic traits can be influenced by genetic factors, environmental factors, or a combination of both.
it can be big or small, large or tiny. itdoesn't matter the size, shape, or color. its still the same as it was.
It's called heritability.
It was once believed that one gene controls one trait, so it is possible. Currently, the belief is that one gene can interact with other genes to control a trait, and that one gene can control more than one trait.

yes its called pleiotropy
When three or more contrasting genes control a trait, it is called polygenic inheritance. This type of inheritance involves multiple genes interacting to influence a single trait, resulting in a continuous distribution of phenotypes in a population.

the offspring have two factors for each trait
The presence of more than two alleles that control a trait is called multiple allele. An example of this is the group gene of ABO blood that has three alleles.
It's called heritability.
This condition is known as polygenic inheritance. It involves multiple genes contributing to a trait, and the expression of these genes can be influenced by environmental factors. The combination of genetic and environmental influences leads to a wide range of variation in the trait.
The number of possible phenotypes for a given trait depends on how many genes control the trait. Each gene may have multiple alleles that can interact to produce different phenotypes. Additionally, environmental factors can also influence the expression of these genes, further increasing the diversity of possible phenotypes.
invisible "factors" - now called genes.
