Polymorphic trait

Polymorphic, or quantitative, traits is attributed to two or more genes and can be measured quantitatively. Most phenotypic characteristics, such as height or skin color, are the result of the interaction of multiple genes. Each of these genes inherits as a Mendelian trait, and for the large number of genes involved the outcome will be continuously normally distributed.
