What is it when interacting genes results in the equal phenotype expression of all genes?
Polygenes .
What is the variation in human skin color an example of?
This is a typical kind of continuous variation which is controlled by polygenes.
What does it mean when hair color is polygenic?
When hair color is polygenic, it means its color is influenced by more than one gene. Polygenes are nonallelic genes.
What are three traits that are a result of polygenic inheritance?
There are many traits in plants and animals that are governed by polygenes. For example 1. kernel color in wheat (studied by H. Nelsson- Ehle), Skin color in humans (studied by C. B. Devenport) and Corolla length in Nicotiana longiflora (studied by E. M. East).
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.

What is the interactive nature of polygenic genes?
Polygenic inheritance occurs when one characteristic is controlled by two or more genes. Often the genes are large in quantity but small in effect. Examples of human polygenic inheritance are height, skin color, eye color and weight. Polygenes exist in other organisms, as well.
