Yes, that is correct. Each trait is controlled by genes, and genes exist in different forms called alleles. For any given trait, an individual can have two alleles—one inherited from their mother and one from their father. These alleles can have different variations, resulting in different expression of the trait.
Polygenic inheritance occurs when a trait is controlled by two or more genes. Each gene contributes a small amount to the phenotype of the trait, resulting in a continuous range of phenotypic variations.

recessive
A dominant trait is expressed when two different genes for the same trait are present.

Mendel's Law Of Segregation
An organism with two like genes for a trait is called homozygous for that trait.
An organism with two like alleles for a trait is homozygous for that trait.

An offspring typically receives one copy of a gene for a trait from each parent, resulting in two copies of the gene in total. This is known as Mendelian inheritance, where an offspring inherits one allele from the mother and one allele from the father for a specific trait.

They are called alleles. Each allele is a different form of the gene, and they can be dominant or recessive.
