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
A single gene can influence multiple traits A single trait can be controlled by multiple genes
An organism with two like alleles for a trait is homozygous for that trait.
heterozygotes
Sections of chromosomes that code for a trait are called genes.
A heterozygous has 2 different alleles for a trait.
