- 2. •Polygene is when a dominant allele controls only a unit or partial quantitative expression of a trait. •Several non-allelic genes affect same character. •Also called multiple gene or quantitative or cumulative inheritance as trait becomes more pronounced when dominant alleles are added. •Each gene contributes equally. •Environmental factors may also effect. •Does not follow Mendelian ratio. •Examples include skin color in human, kernel color on wheat, human height, cob length in maize, etc.
