A single inherited phenotypic trait that is governed by two or more separate genes is referred to as polygenic inheritance, often referred to as quantitative inheritance.

  • The polygenic physical features like height, skin colour, and hair colour as well as the non-visible traits like blood pressure, intellect, autism, and longevity occur on a continuous gradient with numerous variations of quantifiable increments due to the inheritance mode patterns.
  • The impact of having numerous alleles should not be confounded with polygenic inheritance.
  • When a gene has many alleles, they are all located at the same location on each chromosome.
  • Punnet squares can be used to calculate the likelihood that a child would receive a particular trait from each parent, however in practise there may be many distinct genes influencing a single phenotypic trait, making this difficult to prove. 
  • For instance, there are three separate alleles that regulate the blood types A, B, and O.
  • The distribution of phenotypes resulting from polygenic inheritance typically conforms to a normal distribution of probability, with the majority of kids exhibiting an intermediate phenotype of the two parents.
