Polygenic inheritance result in a continuum of phenotypes because the genes that are involved can be considered to be co-dominant traits that fall into discrete categories are called continuous traits false.

<h3>What is Polygenic Inheritance?</h3>

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.

In a system that is distinct from Mendelian Genetics, wherein monogenic features are determined by the various alleles of a single gene, polygenetic traits may exhibit a variety of potential phenotypes, determined by a number of different genes and the interactions between them.

In contrast to Mendelian genetics, when one allele completely dominates or hides another, features generated by polygenic inheritance are not only the result of dominance and recessively. Instead, polygenic features show incomplete dominance, resulting in a combination of the phenotypes seen in the parents in the offspring.
