When more than one pair of alleles controls a trait is called?
When more than one pair of alleles controls a trait, it is called polygenic inheritance. This means that multiple genes contribute to the expression of a trait, leading to a continuous range of variation rather than distinct categories. Examples of traits controlled by polygenic inheritance include height, skin color, and intelligence.
When the alleles present for a trait are the same. the genes are called?
When the alleles present for a trait are the same, it is called Homozygous
How do multiple alleles control the trait?
In the case of multiple alleles, one trait is governed by more than two alleles. One example is the human ABO blood group. There are three alleles, A, B, and O. A person can, however, only inherit two of the three alleles.
The different forms of a trait that a gene may have are called?
Alleles
When a pair of chromosomes contains different alleles for a trait that trait is called a what when a trait has two identical alleles it is called?
2 different alelles - heterozygous Same alelles - homozygous
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. Many quantitative characters have polygenic inheritance. Inheritance of blood groups is an example of polygenic inheritance in human being.
The law of independent assortment states the the inheritance of alleles for one trait is not affected by the inheritance of alleles for a different trait if the genes for the traits are on?
separate chromosomes
When more than two different alleles control a trait?
The presence of more than two alleles that control a trait is called multiple allele. An example of this is the group gene of ABO blood that has three alleles.
In ------ these are more than two alleles possible for a trait?
polygenic inheritance :)
How is inheritance be multiple alleles and poly genic inheritance similar?
Multiple alleles is when there are more than 2 alleles in a single trait. In blood type, instead of either one dominant and one recessive type alleles, there is one recessive allele (type O) but two dominant alleles(type A and B). Polygenic inheritance is when more than one gene controls a single trait, such as height in which three genes are responsible.
How many genes must interact to produce a trait?
It depends on the trait. Some are Mendelian traits where there is one dominant and one recessive allele. Some traits are governed by multiple alleles, like blood groups, and some traits are governed by polygenic inheritance where several sets of genes determine the trait, like height in humans.

What is it called when more than one set of genes controls a trait?
yes it could......... when it happens its called polygenic inheritance

What are genes with three or more alleles called?
this makes no scientific sense. A gene (which determines a phenotypic trait) can only contain 2 alleles. However codominace allows for multiple alleles to be chosen from, but only 2 picked for a gene. Also, if multiple genes determine a phenotypic trait that's polygenic inheritance.
