When two different genes at the same locus control different phenotypes what is it called?

This would be known as epistasis because one gene blocks another from expressing itself. Epistasis could also be the interaction between genes.

When many genes control a trait the trait will show a large number of what?
Phenotypes
What are the factors that control a trait called?
what do we call factors that control traits
What physical appearance of a trait is called the while genetic composition is?
A very simple way to understand the two is this: phenotype is what you see and genotype is what genes are there. Phenotypes are expressed genes and genotypes include recessive genes that are not seen.
When thinking about genotypes and phenotypes which is the cause and which is the effect?
Genes are the cause ... in all cases.
What are different types of genes called?
Alleles
What is different in phenotypes of an individual from those in the same species?
Phenotypes are the characteristics of the genes that are most dominant, and can represent themselves. Species have many different genes for example, you dont have the exact same genes as your best friend, and thus, producing different phenotypes which is why you look different... However, you do have may similar genes that make you part of that species.

Phenotypes
When many genes control a trait the trait will show a large number of?
Phenotypes
Why do some traits have so many different phenotypes?
This is because phenotypes are the physical appearance. If you had brown hair and so did I, our phenotypes, would still be different.
What are the factors that control a trait called?
what do we call factors that control traits
The outward appearance of a particular trait is called?
The outward expression of genetic traits are called phenotypes. Phenotypes expression include recessive and dominant genes such as eye and hair color.
Why are chromosomal alterations called syndromes not diseases?
Chromosome alterations have variations in phenotypes( the outward expression of genes).
Different forms of genes are called?
different form of genes are called allele
Why are there so many phenotypes in polygenic inheritance?
Polygenic means many genes are influencing one trait. So, the inheritance of this gives you are all sorts of combination of genes that are expressed in various phenotypes. As example think of the different heights of siblings. There are 5 to 7 genes that influence height and in the same relative environment of siblings you get many combinations of those genes which express themselves in different height same sex siblings.

What kind of trait is present when many different genes different genes control a single trait such as skin color?
epistasis
