Answer:

Polygenic inheritance

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is polygenic inheritance.

Polygenic inheritance is when more than one gene is responsible for the manifestation of some characteristic.

Monogenic inheritance is manifested from a single gene.

When this happens, several characteristics can be manifested at once
