Polygenic inheritance occurs when one characteristic is controlled by two or more genes. Often the genes are large in quantity but small in effect. Examples of human polygenic inheritance are height, skin color, eye color and weight. Polygenes exist in other organisms, as well.
Polygenic inheritance describes the inheritance of traits that are determined by more than one gene. This type of inheritance differs from Mendelian inheritance patterns in which traits are determined by one gene. Polygenic traits have many possible phenotypes that are determined by interactions among several alleles. Examples of polygenic inheritance in humans include traits such as skin color, eye color, hair color, body shape, height, and weight.
