полигенска особина
An inherited trait that is determined by genes at two or more loci. Simple Mendelian rules of dominance do not apply to the complex interaction of these genes. As a result, phenotypes may appear as apparent blends or intermediate expressions. Human skin and hair color are polygenic traits. Many polygenic traits are also influenced by environmental factors.
