Polygenic inheritance is best described as a trait that is influenced by:

• A single gene with multiple alleles

• Multiple genes at different loci

• Environmental factors only

• A mutation in a single gene

Which of the following is an example of a polygenic trait?

• Blood type

• Eye color

• Cystic fibrosis

• Sickle cell anemia

In a polygenic inheritance pattern, the phenotype is usually:

• Discrete and distinct

• A blend of parental traits

• Determined by a single gene

• Influenced by a single environmental factor
