Generation

Polygenic traits are characteristics controlled by two or more genes working together, rather than just a single gene. Each gene contributes a small additive effect to the overall trait, which is why these traits show continuous variation in a population rather than distinct categories. Common examples include height, skin color, and eye color in humans—you see a wide range of possibilities rather than just "tall" or "short." Environmental factors can also influence how these traits are ultimately expressed, making them even more variable.
