When many different genes control a single trait, such as skin color, it is referred to as a polygenic trait. This means that multiple genes contribute to the phenotype, resulting in a continuous range of variation rather than distinct categories. Polygenic inheritance often leads to complex traits that can be influenced by environmental factors as well.

One. That's it.
Wheat grain color is primarily influenced by a small number of gene pairs, particularly two major genes: the P gene and the C gene, which determine whether the grain is red or white. Additionally, several minor genes also contribute to the variation in color. Overall, while the primary genes are few, the total number of gene pairs involved in determining wheat grain color can be more extensive due to the influence of these minor genes and their interactions.
Humans have a total of 23 pairs of genes, for a total of 46 individual chromosomes.

Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain DNA, while genes are specific segments of DNA that provide instructions for a particular trait. Chromosomes house many genes, along with other DNA sequences, and are inherited in pairs, one from each parent. Genes determine specific traits, such as eye color or blood type.

Very many genes have their heritably determined functions 'set' to control the functions of other genes.
