What are the similarities between Mendelian genetics and polygenic inheritance?

Answer 1

Mendelian genetics and polygenic inheritance are completely unrelated.

According to Mendelian genetics, a single trait is determined by a single gene, or "factor".

A phenomenon known as polygenic inheritance occurs when a trait whose expression is regulated by multiple genes is passed down from parents to their children.

Therefore, the only similarity I can find is that they both entail probability and statistics.

Both Mendelian genetics and polygenic inheritance involve the transmission of traits from parents to offspring. Additionally, both involve the expression of traits through the interaction of multiple genes.
