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.
A polygenic trait refers to any inheritable trait that is controlled by multiple genes, and each of these genes can have multiple alleles. For example, eye color in humans is a polygenic trait. There are at least three different genes, each with multiple alleles, that determine eye color in humans.
