WHAT DOES POLYGENE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

polygene

Polygene

A polygene, multiple factor, multiple gene inheritance, or quantitative gene is a group of non-allelic genes that together influence a phenotypic trait. The precise loci or identities of the non-allelic genes are often unknown to biologists. Advances in statistical methodology and high throughput sequencing are, however, allowing researchers to locate candidate genes for the trait. These genes are generally pleiotropic as well. The genes that contribute to type 2 diabetes are thought to be mostly polygenes. Traits with polygenic determinism correspond to the classical quantitative characters, as opposed to the qualitative characters with monogenic or oligogenic determinism.

Definition of polygene in the English dictionary

The definition of polygene in the dictionary is any of a group of genes that each produce a small quantitative effect on a particular characteristic of the phenotype, such as height.
