Answer:

Polygenic trait.

Step-by-step explanation:

A polygenic trait is the one that is regulated by more than one genes. Here, the total number of dominant alleles of all the genes determine the phenotype of the individuals.

For example, human skin color, height, eye color, the color of hair, etc. are polygenic trait and is regulated by more than one gene.
