A monogenic inheritance depends on only one single allele while a polygenic inheritance depends on multiple alleles. Monogenic refers to qualitative traits and polygenic refers to quantitative traits.
A polygenic trait is one whose phenotype is influenced by more than one gene. Trait s that display a continuous distribution, such as height or skin color, are polygenic.Polygenic inheritance. 10.3.1 Define polygenic inheritance. 10.3.2 Explain that polygenic inheritance can contribute to continuous variation using two examples, one of which must be human skin colour.olygenic Trait.
