Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Characteristics such as height, weight, and skin color are controlled by multiple genes, not just one. Polygenic inheritance is responsible for traits that are influenced by multiple genes. Height, weight, and skin color are all examples of polygenic inheritance. Homogenetic inheritance and heterogenetic inheritance are not well-defined terms in genetics. Dominant-recessive inheritance refers to a single gene that controls a trait with one version being dominant over the other.
