Well polygenetic inheritiance are traits that is controlled by multiple genes, so for one trait you may have more than two gene controlling it, human eye is an example. For polygenetic inheritance you cannot do a pedigree and calculated the percentage. For mendelian inheritance it all about two alleles for one trait where one is definetly more dominant over the other, it is much simpler than the polygenic trait and can be calculated through a pedigree.

∙ 9y agoPolygenic traits are controlled by genes at more than one gene locus. Simple genetic inheritance is controlled by genes at a single gene locus.
Many polygenic traits are poorly understood others are more straight forward.
Color genetics in many mammals is polygenic, as control of the two base colors occurs at different gene loci. The A gene locus controls black (a) and Agouti A) and the E gene locus controls red coloration. E is not red and e is red.
These two sites interact through epistasis/hypostasis where the E (extension) locus allows expression of the genetics at the A (agouti) locus only if the extension locus is Ee or EE. If both alleles at the E locus are e (as in ee) the animal will red no matter what the color genetics are at the A locus.
The A color locus is hypostatic (suppressed by) the E color locus. The E locus is epistatic (suppresses the) to the A color locus expression.

What type two or more genes control a trait?
Polygenic trait
When a trait has more than two alleles how is the trait inherited?
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.When more than two alleles are involved in the inheritance of a trait, it is called polygenic inheritance.

In ------ these are more than two alleles possible for a trait?
polygenic inheritance :)
What is a trait or genetic disorder caused by Polygenic inheritance?
A polygenic trait is a trait which multiple genes affect. An example would be skin color, the combined affects of several genes determine your base pigment shade. Polygenic traits are caused by a combination of genes.
What is it called when more than one set of genes controls a trait?
yes it could......... when it happens its called polygenic inheritance
What is it called when a group of gene pairs acts together to produce a trait?
Polygenic Inheritance!
