Single gene traits are either one type or another,for example everyone is either (ABO System) group A,B AB or O with no intermediates - this shows discontinuous variation.

How does polygenic inheritance differ from Mendelian inheritance?

polygenic inheritance is when more than one genes are responsible for a character/phenotype. for example human skin color. if one want to draw a pedigree for that, he will not be able to succeed. although individual genes at molecular level is inherited according to mendel's laws. and mendelian inheritance simply follows mendels laws. also the character is controlled by one gene only. for example pea plant height.


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.
