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.
The term âpolygenic inheritanceâ is used to refer to the inheritance of quantitative traits, traits which are influenced by multiple genes, not just one.In addition to involving multiple genes, polygenic inheritance also looks at the role of environment in someone's development.or example, sickle cell anemia is a form of pleiotropy, caused by a distinctive mutation in one gene which leads to a host of symptoms. In addition to causing mutations, pleiotropy also occurs in perfectly normal genes, although researchers tend to use it to track and understand mutations in particular.
