Answer 2

The correct answer is polygenic inheritance.

Polygenetic is an example of a trait which controls more than one gene.

Polygenetic is termed as one group of non-epistatic genes which interacts additively to influence phenotypic trait.

A situation where a gene is identified it is called quantitative trait locus.

These genes here are pleiotropic.
