How many genes determine an inherited trait?
Hello there! Traits controlled by two or more genes are for example skin color and height.
What are non-mendelian trait?
Non-Mendelian traits are:A trait with no clearly dominant alleleA trait with four allelesA trait controlled by many genes
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 type two or more genes control a trait?
Polygenic trait
Tell you about polygenic inheritance under genetics?
Multiple alleles are the presence of more than two alleles for a trait within a gene pool, while polygenetic traits are controlled by multiple genes.
What controls a polygenic trait?
two or more genes

What are polygentic traits?
Two or more genes control a trait.
Based on his experiments Mendel concluded that each trait was controlled by two?
invisible "factors" - now called genes.
What trait is is expressed when two diffrent genes for the same trait are present?
A dominant trait is expressed when two different genes for the same trait are present.

So multiple alleles are more than two alleles for one trait, and polygenic traits are one trait that is influenced by mulitple genes.

The two or more related genes that control a trait are known as?
alleles
The trait of an organism are controlled by its what?
Deoxyribonucleic acid otherwise known as DNA. traits are controlled by commonalities in DNA structure between two separate sequences
What type two or more genes control a trait?
Polygenic trait
For each trait there are allele possibilities?
Yes, that is correct. Each trait is controlled by genes, and genes exist in different forms called alleles. For any given trait, an individual can have two alleles—one inherited from their mother and one from their father. These alleles can have different variations, resulting in different expression of the trait.
