"Polygenic" is the term that refers to the determination of a given trait that is a result of the interaction of many genes. Traits such as height, skin, color are polygenic.
Polygenic traits do not show the phenotypic ration that charecterizes Mendelian Inheritance eventhough the trait is inherited as stated by Gregor Mendel. Many Polygenic traits are often influenced by the environmental factors.

What is Polygenic Inheritence?
Polygenic inheritance is the phenotypic expression of a trait involving the interaction of many genes.
The trait of an organism is controlled by what?
The traits an organism displays is a result of their genetics. Recessive traits tend to not show in many organisms.

Fallapian tube
Is the shape of the human nose affected by genetics?
Most physical features are a result of the interaction between genes and the environment, i.e., phenotype is a product of both genetics and the environment.
Is the way an organism looks and behaves a result of its?
Yes, phenotype refers to the observed expressed trait while genotype refers to the actual inherited genes present in the nucleus of the somatic cells.
Traits that are produced by the interaction of several genes are said to be?
These are polygenic (which literally means "several genes").
What traits that are caused by the interaction of the many genes said to be?
polygenic
Which of the following is the best definition of the term phenotype?
Genotype is the alleles (different forms of a gene) which an individual has with respect to a particular characteristic. The Phenotype is how these genes are expressed in an individual.
Is the way a organism looks and behaves a result of its genotype?
Yes, phenotype refers to the observed expressed trait while genotype refers to the actual inherited genes present in the nucleus of the somatic cells.
