Which pattern of inheritance results from individual organisms having many different genes working at the same time to control a

single trait?

The answer is polygenic inheritance.

Many physical characters (traits) depend on many different factors, each of which is determined by different genes. This is called polygenic inheritance.
For example, the color of the skin in humans. The color of the skin results from the interactions of several factors determined by different pairs of genes:

-Certain genes could affect the metabolism of skin melanocytes.
-Other genes can determine the distribution of melanin in the thickness of the skin.
-Some genes could determine the relative amounts of each of the two possible types of melanin.
-Others may affect the production of certain hormones involved in the activity of melanocytes.

Which statement best describes the relationship between an allele and a gene?
yKpoI14uk [10]

An allele is a variation of a gene that can be expressed as a phenotype.

Explanation:

Genes are the specific sequences of DNA that code for a particular protein in organisms. When the fertilization occurs each parent contributes one chromosome which is homologous this means that both will have genes on the particular loci. The alleles of the particular genes will come together to express the trait.

Allele is an entity of gene which determines how the gene will express the particular trait like tall, short, round, wrinkle etc. It can be said that allele determines the phenotypic trait of a particular gene.
