A characteristic controlled by one or more genes is called a?
trait
How many genes determine an inherited trait?
An inherited trait is typically determined by multiple genes working together. The exact number of genes involved can vary depending on the trait. In many cases, dozens to hundreds of genes may contribute to a single inherited trait.
What is a trait called when it is controlled by more than on gene?
A trait that is controlled by more than one gene is called polygenic. This means that multiple genes contribute to the expression of the trait, leading to a continuous range of phenotypic variation. Examples of polygenic traits include height, skin color, and intelligence.
What are genes with three or more alleles called?
this makes no scientific sense. A gene (which determines a phenotypic trait) can only contain 2 alleles. However codominace allows for multiple alleles to be chosen from, but only 2 picked for a gene. Also, if multiple genes determine a phenotypic trait that's polygenic inheritance.
What is trait called when it is controlled by more than one gene?
Polygenic Traits
What is it when more than one set of genes controls a trait?
It is called polygenic inheritance.
What controls a polygenic trait?
two or more genes
What is more than one set of genes controls a trait?
genetic traits
A characteristic controlled by one or more genes is called a?
trait
What is it called when three or more contrasting genes control a trait?
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.
When more than one pair of alleles controls a trait is called?
When more than one pair of alleles controls a trait, it is called polygenic inheritance. This means that multiple genes contribute to the expression of a trait, leading to a continuous range of variation rather than distinct categories. Examples of traits controlled by polygenic inheritance include height, skin color, and intelligence.

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.
What is the trait that is controlled by 2 or more genes?
it is called Polygenic traits. yes this is a lakota west atudent :)
When more than one pair of genes control a trait it is considered?
When more than one pair of genes controls a trait, it is considered a polygenic trait. Polygenic traits are influenced by multiple genes, each contributing to the overall phenotype in a cumulative manner. Examples include traits like height, skin color, and eye color in humans. This complexity often results in a continuous range of phenotypic expression.
What blueprints controls how traits are passed down?
The blueprint that controls how traits are passed down from one generation to the next is called DNA. DNA contains the genetic information that determines an organism's traits. It is passed from parents to offspring during reproduction.
are traits of an organism?
A trait is a specific characteristic of an organism. Traits can be determined by genes or the environment, or more commonly by interactions between them. The genetic contribution to a trait is called the genotype. The outward expression of the genotype is called the phenotype.
