Traits that are controlled a multiple gene loci. Polygenic traits.
Traits controlled by a gene with multiple alleles can vary in terms of expression or phenotype. For example, human blood type (A, B, AB, O) is controlled by a gene with multiple alleles. The different alleles can result in different phenotypes (A, B, AB, O) for the same trait.
A gene is controlled by two alleles, one inherited from each parent. These alleles can be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous), influencing the expression of the gene and determining an individual's specific traits.
Traits inherited by multiple alleles are those that are controlled by three or more different forms of a gene (alleles) at a single locus. Examples include human blood type, where the ABO gene has three common alleles (IA, IB, and i), and coat color in rabbits, which is determined by four alleles of the C gene (C, cch, ch, and c).
Mendelian traits are:simple single traits controlled entirely by one genecaused by a gene with simple dominant and recessive allele formsA Mendelian trait would not involve more than one gene, nor would it involve genes with more than two allele forms.

Traits that are controlled a multiple gene loci. Polygenic traits.
They are called Polygenic Traits.
Human traits are controlled by a combination of genetic factors (inherited from parents), environmental factors (such as diet and lifestyle), and epigenetic factors (changes in gene expression without changes in the underlying DNA sequence). These factors interact in complex ways to influence the development and expression of human traits.

A single gene can influence multiple traits A single trait can be controlled by multiple genes
A trait controlled by a gene on the sex chromosome is known as a sex-linked trait. These traits are often inherited in a sex-specific manner, with different patterns of inheritance depending on whether the gene is located on the X or Y chromosome.
Traits controlled by a gene with multiple alleles can vary in terms of expression or phenotype. For example, human blood type (A, B, AB, O) is controlled by a gene with multiple alleles. The different alleles can result in different phenotypes (A, B, AB, O) for the same trait.
or one gene, all by its lonesome.
Multiple alleles are "the existence of more than two alleles (versions of the gene) for a genetic traits. Polygenic traits are "[characteristics of organisms that are] influenced by several genes." So multiple alleles are more than two alleles for one trait, and polygenic traits are one trait that is influenced by mulitple genes. This information came from my biology textbook, "Biology: Principles and Explorations" by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston.
