How inheritance by multiple alleles and polygenic inheritence are similar?

In both cases, traits are influenced by multiple genetic factors. Inheritance by multiple alleles involves the presence of more than two alleles for a particular gene, while polygenic inheritance involves the contribution of multiple genes to a single trait. Both types of inheritance result in continuous variation, with traits being influenced by the interaction of multiple genetic factors.
