yes examples are there is one gene for all blood type like A, B, AB, O

∙ 12y agoBlood type is not a polygenic trait. It is determined by multiple alleles of a single gene called the ABO gene located on chromosome 9. This gene has three common alleles (IA, IB, and i) that determine the ABO blood groups (A, B, AB, and O).
Polygenic inheritance is when two or more genes interact to control a trait. Each gene contributes to the phenotype in an additive manner, resulting in a continuous range of variations for the trait. Examples include human height and skin color.
When a trait has more than two alleles, it can be inherited in various ways depending on the interaction of the alleles. Multiple alleles can exist at a single genetic locus, and the specific inheritance pattern is determined by factors like dominance, recessiveness, and co-dominance. Each individual can still only inherit two alleles for a specific gene, but the presence of multiple alleles can create a wider range of possible genotypes and phenotypes.
Polygenic Traits
A polygenic trait is a characteristic that is influenced by multiple genes, each making a small contribution to the trait. This results in a continuous range of phenotypic variation. Examples of polygenic traits include height, skin color, and intelligence.
Polygenic inheritance refers to the determination of a trait that is influenced by the interaction of multiple genes. These genes can have additive or synergistic effects on the phenotype, resulting in a continuous range of variations for the trait. Examples of polygenic traits include height, skin color, and intelligence.

false, height is a polygenic trait
two or more genes
Polygenic Traits
Height in considered a polygenic trait because your height is influenced by multiple genes.
Polygenic traits result in more variation because so many more alleles are involved in the process of reproduction.

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.
A histogram or a bell curve would be suitable for representing a polygenic trait, as these traits are influenced by multiple genes and exhibit a continuous range of phenotypic values in a population.
