A collection of paired genes is responsible for a polygenetic trait. Height, skin colour etc. are examples.

What is polygeny?

Inheritance in which more than one gene pair affects the appearance of a particular trait. Polygenetic inheritance refers to the non-Mendelian form of inheritance in which a particular trait is produced by the interaction of many genes.


How many alleles does a zygote have for each trait?

No - some traits are polygenetic (such as for skin color, eye color, hair color, etc.) and will have multiple alleles.


How are polygenetic traits inheritated?

Polygenic traits are controlled by multiple genes located on different chromosomes. Each gene contributes a small effect to the trait, resulting in a continuous range of phenotypes. The inheritance of polygenic traits follows the principles of Mendelian genetics, with the combined effect of multiple genes influencing the trait's expression in an individual.

What does the term polygenetic refer to?

Polygenetic refers to a species which received its genes/genetic information from several distinct sources. It can similarly be used to describe a taxon (such as a phylum) whose members come from different ancestral sources.


What are polygenetic traits?

Polygenetic traits are traits that are influenced by multiple genes working together. These traits often show a continuous range of variation in a population rather than distinct categories. Examples include height, skin color, and intelligence.

What does polygenetic stratovolcano mean?

A polygenetic volcano is one that has formed through multiple periods of activity. A stratovolcano is a steep-sloped, often tall volcanoe composed of layers of ash, pumice, and cooled lava flows. Stratovolcanoes are capable of producing large explosive eruptions.


What is an example of a non polygenetic trait?

Coat color and pattern is a polygenic trait, meaning it is controlled by more than one gene or gene complex. A dog with the gene for black color expression may also have the gene for suppression of black and so have a red or yellow coat. Or a dog with the brindle gene may have one or more of the genes for large areas of white and so have little or no brindle coloring visible. A dog with the dominant black gene may have genes for color fading and appear gray or merle.Rate This Answer
