It is a polygenic character
What is id polygenic inheritance?
Polygenic inheritance is when a group of gene pairs act together to produce a trait.
What is the opposite of pleiotropy?
polygenic inheritance
What is inheritance determined by the interaction of two or more pairs of genes?
Polygenic inheritance.
Why is there a wide range of phenotypes in polygenic inheritance?
"polygenic inheritance"- the inheritance of quantitative traits, traits which are influenced by multiple genes. Polygenic inheritance shows how multiple genes in combination with a person's environment can influence someone's phenotype, or physical appearance. A wide range is produced because the gene combinations are vast.
What is variation in human skin a result of?

When a trait has more than two alleles how is the trait inherited?
When more than two alleles are involved in the inheritance of a trait, it is called polygenic inheritance. Many quantitative characters have polygenic inheritance. Inheritance of blood groups is an example of polygenic inheritance in human being.When more than two alleles are involved in the inheritance of a trait, it is called polygenic inheritance.

What is the term that refers to the determination of a given trait that is a result of the interaction of many genes?
"Polygenic" is the term that refers to the determination of a given trait that is a result of the interaction of many genes. Traits such as height, skin, color are polygenic. Polygenic traits do not show the phenotypic ration that charecterizes Mendelian Inheritance eventhough the trait is inherited as stated by Gregor Mendel. Many Polygenic traits are often influenced by the environmental factors.
What type of inheritance is eye color?
polygenic inheritance
