Home Â» Polygenic inheritance. Definition. noun. A non-Mendelian form of inheritance in which a particular trait is produced by the interaction of many genes. Supplement.
Multiple gene (polygenic) inheritance explains many plant and animal traits where there is a wide variation between extreme phenotypes, with most individuals having intermediate phenotypes. Some examples of polygenic inheritance are: human skin and eye color; height, weight and inteligence in people; and kernel color of wheat. In fact, kernel color in wheat is nicely shown in Table 2. Table 2 is essential the same as Table 1, except the extremes in color are dark red and white, rather than black and white.
