Humans directly change the DNA of organisms to produce a brand new trait. This is called:
genetic engineering
selective
or
artificial
breeding
gene therapy
cloning
Humans make copies of genetic material (gene or DNA) or entire organisms This is called:

What do you look for to know if a trait is showing polygenic inheritance?
MANY possibilities due to MANY genes coding for that trait
an EVEN BLEND or mixture of 2 alleles
SPOTS, SPECKLES, PATTERNS with both alleles showing
