here i used example as, plolygenic genes to explain polygenic

one of a group of nonallelic genes that together control a quantitative characteristic in an organism.

in other words mean:

a group of genes, that determines a number of characeristics of an organism= its phenotype.

(phenotype= appearance i.e blue eyes, blond hair)

so it says, its genes (more than one), that decides how u are going to look like.

foe example : blue eyes, red hair, big, small, etc...

In a species of rat height is a polygenic trait. what does it mean for this trait to be polygenic?

Usually, traits are polygenic when there is wide variation in the trait. For example, humans can be of many different sizes. Height is a polygenic trait, controlled by at least three genes with six alleles. If you are dominant for all of the alleles for height, then you will be very tall.

What is the opposite of polygenic trais?

The opposite of polygenic traits is monogenic traits. Polygenic traits are determined by the interaction of multiple genes, while monogenic traits are controlled by a single gene.

What type two or more genes control a trait?

Polygenic inheritance is when two or more genes interact to control a trait. Each gene contributes to the phenotype in an additive manner, resulting in a continuous range of variations for the trait. Examples include human height and skin color.


Traits controlled by two or more genes are called what?

Traits controlled by two or more genes are called polygenic traits. In polygenic inheritance, multiple genes work together to produce a particular phenotype, resulting in a wide range of possible variations. Examples include height, skin color, and eye color in humans.
