yes its called pleiotropy
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.

The number of possible phenotypes for a given trait depends on how many genes control the trait. Each gene may have multiple alleles that can interact to produce different phenotypes. Additionally, environmental factors can also influence the expression of these genes, further increasing the diversity of possible phenotypes.
Polygenic inheritance occurs when a trait is controlled by two or more genes. Each gene contributes a small amount to the phenotype of the trait, resulting in a continuous range of phenotypic variations.

Polygenic trait, where multiple genes contribute to the expression of a single trait like skin color. Each gene may have a small effect on the trait, and their combined influence results in a continuous range of variation.

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.
The trait for fur color can be both. In some species, like mice, fur color is determined by a single gene with different alleles. In other species, like dogs or humans, fur color can be controlled by multiple genes interacting together (polygenic trait).

The answer is simple, genes are inherited and traits are your own uniqueness, genes will have an influence on your traits, so if you are a loud person, that will be one of your traits, and if a parent is a loud person, you will have most likely inherited that gene from them, so the answer is one gene controls many traits because the gene was there first
