Two ways multiple alleles and polygenic traits differ?
Multiple alleles are "the existence of more than two alleles (versions of the gene) for a genetic traits. Polygenic traits are "[characteristics of organisms that are] influenced by several genes." So multiple alleles are more than two alleles for one trait, and polygenic traits are one trait that is influenced by multiple genes. This information came from my biology textbook, "Biology: Principles and Explorations" by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston.

Is breast cancer codominant or polygenic?
POLYGENIC!
Traits controlled by two or more genes are called what?
Polygenic Traits.
Traits that are shaped by many genes are called what?
Traits that are produced by the interaction of several genes are called polygenic traits. Examples of polygenic traits are height and skin color.
What is one difference between a single gene trait and a polygenic trait?
Multiple alleles are "the existence of more than two alleles (versions of the gene) for a genetic traits. Polygenic traits are "[characteristics of organisms that are] influenced by several genes." So multiple alleles are more than two alleles for one trait, and polygenic traits are one trait that is influenced by mulitple genes. This information came from my biology textbook, "Biology: Principles and Explorations" by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston.
