Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polygenic traits are controlled by multiple genes and often display a range of phenotypes rather than distinct categories. This range of variation can be observed as a continuum in a population. Polygenic traits cannot be explained by Mendelian genetics, which involve one gene controlling one trait, and are not usually caused by a single gene.
