Answer»

Correct choice is (a) Genes involved in QUANTITATIVE inheritance

For EXPLANATION I would say: Genes which are involved in quantitative inheritance are CALLED as POLYGENES. In quantitative inheritance, each dominant allele expresses itself as a part of functional polypeptide and the full trait is shown when all the dominant alleles are PRESENT in an organism.
