What is polygenic inheritance?

Occurs when more than one gene affects a trait

100
An allele whose trait always shows up in the organism when the allele is present.
What is a dominant allele?

Why is a pea plant that is hybrid for stem height tall?

The dominant allele for tall stems mask the recessive allele for short stems
