Answer: Polygenic inheritance

Explanation:

Polygenic inheritance is a phenomenon shown by a trait that is controlled by many genes residing at different loci.

Thus, the expression of the trait is the total effect of all the genes controlling it. Skin colour and height in humans are examples of such traits.
