the phenotype of a plant or an animal increases if when there is an increase in the number of genes controlling a particular trait or characteristics. polygenic inheritance are non-Mendelian form of inheritance in  nature and a  single trait expressed is as a result of the interaction of many or multiple genes that are quantitative genes in nature. examples are weight, skin color, height, e.t.c
