Polygenic Inheritance Definition

Each gene has a significant effect on the phenotype

Multiple genes have an additive effect on a single trait (correct)

Only two genes contribute to the expression of the phenotype

Epistasis is involved, where an allele masks the effect of another allele

It has a significant and dominant effect

It masks the effect of other alleles

It has no effect on the phenotype

It has a slight and cumulative effect (correct)

There is complete dominance of one allele over the other

One allele is completely recessive to the other

There is no dominance, and alleles have a cumulative effect (correct)

Epistasis occurs, where one allele masks the effect of another
