When a single trait is affected by more than one gene locus this called?
Multifactorial inheritance describes the situation were more than one gene affects a single trait. Environmental factors can also contribute to the single trait.
What is the term that refers to the determination of a given trait that is a result of the interaction of many genes?
"Polygenic" is the term that refers to the determination of a given trait that is a result of the interaction of many genes. Traits such as height, skin, color are polygenic. Polygenic traits do not show the phenotypic ration that charecterizes Mendelian Inheritance eventhough the trait is inherited as stated by Gregor Mendel. Many Polygenic traits are often influenced by the environmental factors.
Does the inheritance of one trait effect the inheritance of another trait?
Inheritance all traits is independent, according to the Law of inheritance, unless there is linkage in the genes.
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.

Principle that states that the inheritance of a gene for one trait does not affect the inheritance of the gene for another trait?
Principle of independent assortment
What is the condition called when there are many genes that affect a trait which are susceptible to changes due to the environmental factors?
A multifactorial trait, a polygenic trait commonly influenced by the environment.
How can enviromental factors influence a trait?
Complex traits are those that are influenced by more than one factor. The factors can be genetic or environmental.
When a single trait is affected by more than one gene locus this called?
Multifactorial inheritance describes the situation were more than one gene affects a single trait. Environmental factors can also contribute to the single trait.
Trait which is controlled by a combination of genes plus environmental influences?
These could be polygenic genes. They can be influenced by a variety of factors in the persons life so it is difficult to know how it will turn out.
How can environmental factors can influence a trait?
by making you feel dizzy !
Is skin color a quantitative trait?
It is indeed. Quantitative traits suggest that the traits are polygenic, which means that the trait is influenced by more than one gene and skin color is influenced by 3 genes (6 alleles). Skin color is also a multifactorial trait because there are also many environmental factors that change skin color, such as exposure to sunlight.

Polygenic trait
