heritability
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.
An organism with two like genes for a trait is called homozygous for that trait.
A trait influenced by multiple genes is called polygenic. These traits often exhibit a continuous range of variation due to the combined effects of multiple genetic factors. Examples include height, skin color, and intelligence.
trait
Alleles are forms of genes for a trait.
An organism that has genes that are alike for a particular trait is called homozygous for that trait. This means that it has two identical alleles for that specific gene.
Nature, Natural Or traits and genes
An organism with two like alleles for a trait is homozygous for that trait.
A single gene can influence multiple traits A single trait can be controlled by multiple genes
heterozygotes
Sections of chromosomes that code for a trait are called genes.
A heterozygous has 2 different alleles for a trait.
