When more than two alleles are involved in the inheritance of a trait, it is called polygenic inheritance. Many quantitative characters have polygenic inheritance. Inheritance of blood groups is an example of polygenic inheritance in human being.

For example: One parent has blood type AB, the other has blood type OO.

When more than two different alleles control a trait?
The presence of more than two alleles that control a trait is called multiple allele. An example of this is the group gene of ABO blood that has three alleles.
In ------ these are more than two alleles possible for a trait?
polygenic inheritance :)
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 the name for each gene in a pair of genes that might or might not carry the same info about a trait?
the name is hybrids
Two ways multiple alleles and polygenic traits differ?
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 multiple genes. This information came from my biology textbook, "Biology: Principles and Explorations" by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston.
When a trait has more then two alleles and how is that trait inherited?
Even though there are more than two alleles, an individual can inherit only two, one from the mother and one from the father.
When a trait has more than two alleles is that trait inherited?
If one parent has a dominant trait and and another parent has a recessive trait, then the recessive trait gets hidden while the dominant trait gets shown.
What are more than two alleles that exist in a population for a particular trait?
Multiple alleles
In what are there more than two possible alleles for a trait?
gene therapy/ Polygenic trait

What is multiple alleleism?
It is a trait that is determined by more than one pair of alleles.
What is a multiple allelism?
It is a trait that is determined by more than one pair of alleles.
The blood type trait which is controlled by more than two alleles for a given gene and therefore is called?
multiple alleles
Is an inherited trait an adaptation?
depends on if the trait changes a little when inherited if it does not change than no
How do multiple alleles control the trait?
In the case of multiple alleles, one trait is governed by more than two alleles. One example is the human ABO blood group. There are three alleles, A, B, and O. A person can, however, only inherit two of the three alleles.
