Does one gene control many traits or do many genes control one trait?

The answer is simple, genes are inherited and traits are your own uniqueness, genes will have an influence on your traits, so if you are a loud person, that will be one of your traits, and if a parent is a loud person, you will have most likely inherited that gene from them, so the answer is one gene controls many traits because the gene was there first

What are the factors that control a trait called?
what do we call factors that control traits
Which of the following are true. 1.single gene can control a single trait 2.single gene can influence multiple traits 3.single trait can be controlled by multiple genes?
All of them.
What is the difference between a gene and trait?
Trait is a characteristic like: tall, short, black eyes, blue eyes Trait is determine by the genes: your gene is a little section on chromosome. A gene that control 1 trait usually have 2 alleles, for ex: Blue eyes is : Bb (b or B are the alleles make up the gene that determine the trait.) hope this help for whoever confuse!
How many genes determine an inherited trait?
Hello there! Traits controlled by two or more genes are for example skin color and height.
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 are the characteristics of polygenic traits?
Polygenic means that multiple genes created the same trait. The skin color gene is polygenic because multiple genes will give you the same trait.
How do you distinguish genes and traits?
Genes are discrete segments along a DNA molecule that codes for a particular trait. A trait is an observable expression of a gene.
How many genes determine an inherited trait?
Hello there! Traits controlled by two or more genes are for example skin color and height.
Can a single gene control a single trait.?
It was once believed that one gene controls one trait, so it is possible. Currently, the belief is that one gene can interact with other genes to control a trait, and that one gene can control more than one trait.
How many genes are needed to represent a trait?
It depends on the trait. Some traits exhibit simple Mendelian heredity, being governed by only one gene. However, many traits are governed by more than one gene, which is called polygenic inheritance.
What role does a gene play in the transfer of traits?
Genes produce proteins which, in turn, induce traits. Change the protein to change the trait.
Factors that control traits are called what?
A "trait" such as tall/short or round/shrivelled (in relation to pea plants Mendelian genetics) is determined by which allele or version of the gene is inherited by the offspring.
Contains chemical instructions for inherited traits?
DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid but also in a sense mRNA; messenger RNA. These are both nucleotides.
How do genes control an organism trait?
i dont know and i dont care
