Polygenic inheritance refers to a single characteristic that is controlled by more than two genes (also called multifactorial inheritance)
Polygenic inheritance patterns normally follow a normal (bell-shaped) distribution curve - it shows continuous variation
By increasing the number of genes controlling a trait, the number of phenotype combinations also increase, until the number of phenotypes to which an individual can be assigned are no longer discrete, but continuous


Human Skin Colour

The colour of human skin is determined by the amount of dark pigment (melanin) it contains
At least four (possibly more) genes are involved in melanin production; for each gene one allele codes for melanin production, the other does not
The combination of melanin producing alleles determines the degree of pigmentation, leading to continuous variation
