Polygenic inheritance refers to traits that are determined by the interaction of multiple genes. This is different from dominant-recessive inheritance, which is determined by a single gene, and incomplete dominance, which is a type of dominance where neither allele completely masks the other. Genomic imprinting is a type of epigenetic inheritance where certain genes are expressed differently depending on whether they were inherited from the mother or father.
