Polygenic traits are those traits that are controlled by more than one gene. Such traits may even be controlled by genes located on entirely different chromosomes. Human height, eye and hair color are examples of polygenic traits. Skin color is another polygenic trait for humans and a variety of other animals.
The genotype is the set of genes in our DNA which is responsible for a particular trait. Thephenotype is the physical expression, or characteristics, of that trait. For example, two organisms that have even the minutest difference in their genes are said to have different genotypes.
Partly genetic from body type, but most of it has to be acquired to be able to be good at athletic abilities <span />
