Answer (2)

Skin color, fur color, and height are influenced by polygenic inheritance, which involves multiple genes. This differs from Mendelian inheritance and other patterns like codominance and incomplete dominance. Traits like human skin color illustrate how these multiple gene interactions result in a wide variety of phenotypes. ;
