The correct answer is Polygenic inheritance.


The type of inheritance patterns probably governs skin color referred to as polygenic inheritance.


It is a member of a group of non-epistatic genes that interact additively to influence phenotypic trait.

It is one type of gene which contributes to type two diabetes.

Traits which have polygenic determinism corresponds to classical quantitative characters.
