Multiple Alleles and Polygenic Traits

What type of inheritance is determined by multiple genes and there can be a range of traits?

• Codominance

• Incomplete dominance

• Polygenic traits

The different forms of a gene are called

• traits

• pollinators

• alleles

• hybrids

A single gene has 3 or more alleles. These are called

• multiple genes

• multiple alleles

• codominance

• polygenic traits

This is when a trait is controlled by more than one gene.

• Multiple alleles

• Polygenetic inheritance

• Codominance

• Incomplete Dominance 

Examples include skin color and height (the individual's phenotype exists somewhere along a spectrum)

• polygenic inheritance

• multiple alleles

• linked genes

• incomplete dominance
