Answer:

Most human traits have complex modes of inheritance. They may be controlled by onegene with multiple alleles or by multiple genes. More complexity may be introduced by pleiotropy (one gene, multiple effect) and epistasis (gene-gene interactions). Many genetic disorders are caused by mutations in one or a few genes.
